Project Description: Pedestrian Bridge

I decided to post these images of one of my early student projects from previous years. This is to help show the progression of where I am coming from, and where I am heading to. This was a quick one week design studio project. The assignment was to develop a pedestrian bridge for the Santa Fe Depot (Amtrak) which is located in downtown San Diego. I see all my design exercies / experiences whether good or bad as stepping stones in my journey through architecture.

This project was a modeling exercise to explore and experiment with the associative modeling plug-in for Rhino called Grasshopper. Grasshopper is a simple yet powerful tool that could help in the development of advance design modeling. The end result of this exercise was a definition used to create double facade structures held together by a pipe frame.
