3D DESIGN: Bridge

On the last day of our 3D rotation came the biggest task so far. The idea was to create a bridge out of cardboard, parcel tape and bamboo sticks. To start off, it was wise to research the different kinds of structural bridges.

Suspension bridges

This type of bridge is where the road is suspended below taller structures by cables on suspenders.

Stilted structures

These are structures that are suspended above by pillars or "stilts"

In groups of 8, we then sketched 1 or 2 ideas each inspired by the research we made and got to work.

Despite not being the most aesthetically pleasing bridge out of the class, our piece certainly did it's job as it was able to carry the remote control car used to test quality without fail.
