Section and Plan Sketches

Riverside Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects is the influence behind my sections. From this plan I will arrange the different spaces and elongate the structure to create the bridge.

The Moving Element

Both of the moving elements in the design serve as a transportation method whilst altering the view of the structure. The lift to the valley floor is conveniently located between the gallery spaces. As you travel down this lift you encounter the sublime view of the construction detailing that enables this structure to span across the valley. It also gives a unique view of the structure from below.

The other transportation method is the cable cart that travels from the second floor offices to the 'educating' zones. This is to provide students and teachers an alternate mode of transport since the structure is quite long. As you travel you will have views of the ocean and islands and also views of the entire building and the valley floor folly.
