PROJECT 3: Bridge ideas and elevators


The initial idea started with a sweeping motion, resembling a tidal wave as it reaches it's highest point.


Different shapes were later incorporated into the bridge design, to express how unstable power becomes as it gains momentum over long distances.


I, later started experimenting with circular forms that I felt would easily convey the message of growing energy through size and motion.


The circular forms were then combined and freely scaled to achieve different overall effects.


However the uniformity of the forms lacked the momentum prominent in my concept and so I adjusted the forms along the distance and later came up with a concept that peeked my interest and also served the concept of momentum, a growing energy based form that at the same time was controlled and dominant at the end of the bridge.


The Facebook elevator imitates the office forms where the walls fold in and out to create a constant flow through the structure.


The Coca Cola elevator has imitated the absence of a roof, suggesting excessive power as it will race down towards the meeting place.
