PROJECT STATEMENT
Form follows function. This project examines the reltionship of form and function in architectural design. It promotes the aesthetic of functional beauty.
For my project I have selected the following mechanisms to make the movable part of the bridge work: pulley system, hinges, gears, track system, and cables.
