Conceptualisation inspired by biomimicry
Concept: Biomimicry inspired.
Crabs or insect:
Thin legs that are able to carry large loads (torso to legs ratio)
Technique proposal
Technique developmentResponding to vegetation density
Responding to sunlight and shade
Responding to soil conditions
Responding to functionality requirementsThe width of the tubing needs to respond to the impact that it has on the environment.
The distance between the spacing of the netting is adjusted to meet the demands of the local flora, depending on the type of plants that requires a specific amount of sunlight.
The scale of the bridge needs to respond to the variable soil conditions within the landscape.
In wet ground, the bridge would be smaller, so there would be a large number of bridge units, and closer to the ground.
In dry ground, the bridge would be at its “normal scale”
In rocky conditions, the bridge would be larger, hence less bridge units are needed. This creates larger spacing, and higher units to avoid the impact of the rocks.
Express lane Shared path between the cyclists using the scenic route and pedestrians.
