Bridge with Moving Elements


Moving Elements:


Yellow = Wooden Roof Overhang

The yellow roof acts as a shading device, blocking out the sun in areas where people would be travelling to one from side of the school to another. It moves horizontally along a black path, as seen in the diagram in order to cover different areas of ground throughout the day. This element provides shade yet allows for the space to be free-flowing as it hovers above the ground floor of the school.



Blue: Glass Wind Shield

The glass acts as a wind shield in order to block out excessive breezes. The vertex of the wind shield is not fixed, it moves along the red path in order to concentrate on where the wind is coming from at specific times of the day. The material is chosen as glass in order to let in the light from the sun and the transparency of it fits with the appearance of the building, creating a sense of harmony.
