Bridge designed for 3D

Made with wooden dowels and bound with wire

Spray painted black with red tracking

-

There were about 9 spans, the larger ones had teams working on them.

This is my bridge for the single span that I had to work across.

The objective was to have a ball roll across every bridge down a constructed track

and land in a bucket.

-Objective completed-

This project dealt with designing a public space

that incorporated a word as the theme of the design

Negative cast cut from blue foam

The word I chose was "Look"

Can you see it?

The blue foam was filled with plaster to create a positive cast

Dimensions approx. 3' x 3'

It weighed a good 50 pounds
