Design
Process

This project highlights the importance of balancing aesthetics and functionality when designing structures that are both visually appealing and practical. We were tasked with redesigning an existing bridge to allow water traffic to pass through a 30' x 40' opening, which required us to carefully consider both the form and function of the design.
