Building to Building Pedestrian Bridge


This is just the latest competition I join and in total, it only took me a day to do it. My tight working schedule only allows me so much time. During the weekend I try to go out and rest so I dont have to sit and just Sketch away. However I did spend 6 hours during the weekend to finish this off as the deadline is today just before midnight. We are suppose to design a bridge from building to building and instead of coming up with something very fancy, I had a more simpler and modular approach. The design is based on an orthotropic approach with a singular truss from the top to provide a support element. It is design within a 1 metre modular structure which then can be repeated allowing flexibility and adaptibility depending on distance between buildings. I realise everyone is doing round, helix and square and the structural composition is not really shown but mostly the concept. I know I should have spent more time on presentation, hopefully simplicity and functional practical structural idea would go all the way.
