Bridge Project Description

Design a pedestrian bridge using the Terrain.3dm rhino file as your work space. The ravine that the bridge must span is approximately 60' wide, by 40' deep. The bridge should connect the two platforms on either side of the ravine. Be mindful that the bridge will have to accommodate for the difference in elevation between the two platforms. For this project there are three key components. One, design a walkway that precisely accomplishes its intended function. Link the platforms in a manner that would be safe, comfortable, and practical. Try not to resort to steep inclines or harsh turns. Two, model a structural system that could support your walkway. Be creative and thoughtful, considering thicknesses and lengths of your structural components. Three, build an overhead trellis for shading the walkway, allowing yourself some freedom in its interaction and connection points with the walkway and platforms.
