THE DIAGONAL DRIFT - Pedestrian Bridge at Dang

The pedestrian bridge's design was inspired by the body and tail co-ordination of a cheetah. The diagrams made during the 2D Abstraction stage, which were subsequently translated into physical models, served as the basis for the final design. The following stages involved exploring and deciphering the chosen form's structural system. An attempt has been made to effectively employ the diagrid pattern as the primary structural system i.e., the diagrid is optimized to have an impact on the design.
