New Project: Drexel C.O.R.E

Drexel C.O.R.E is the Collective Opportunities for Research and Education is a centralized community based on an atom. The purpose of said community is to promote knowledge and research through lifestyle in a healthy and productive burst of architecture, science, and art.

Original Atom Design: this is currently the underlying base and foundation of the city.

 Combining them all to create an atmosphere that is a benefactor to progress. While the original idea was to design the entire city, we have decided to make the main project about a bridge, that way we can implement our knowledge from our initial bridge project. There are 3 main buildings in the outskirts of the community, the bridge will connect these three buildings while unifying the entire community in a smooth and aesthetic nature.
 Pre-bridge idea for city:

Original bridge without main bridge; with bridge superposed on top.

Our hard constraints for the bridge:

1. The bridge must connect to the third floor of each of the three main buildings.
2. The center of the bridge must be self-supporting.
3. The bridge must be able to support at least 15 pounds in various places, but especially the center. This constraint will be modified as the bridge comes into construction.

Testing:

1. The uppermost part of the bridge cannot be over 40 feet tall.
2. The section of bridge connected to the plaza must touch to the ground on angle.

Soft constraints:

1. The bridge must be convenient to walk both under and over.
2. The bridge must be aesthetically pleasing. 

The following are concept drawings of the bridge and/or the buildings:
