The majority of day 3 was spent creating a scale model representation of the bridge, which our Brighton university teammates had designed during day two. We did this using card board and foam board.

One of the main concerns when modeling was making sure the bridge was in scale with the plan view map 1:100. Also using the measurements of building we began creating a topographic map, which featured surrounding building within the university campus.

An issue we did face was picking the correct scale, to represent the changes in ground level and building elevation.

For a third year in a row, Brighton university has hosted design week. During the course of the week university students work in conjunction with first year a-level students from Hazelwick school, studying 3d design.

This year the task given revolves around pedestrian and cycle bridges. Our client is Brighton university, who ask us to come up with an innovative bridge designs which we will model and present. One of the main points in the brief is that we link conveniently and practically two parts of Moulsecoomb campus on both sides of A27, Lewes Road.
