Currently in the M.Arch program at MIT, the prospective architect and designer Alan Lu
creates and explores architecture through experimenting with form,
fabrication and design techniques. The bridge project continues the
research in applying modular structures
to various typologies and establishing a specificity of public spaces.
The conceptual pedestrian pathway design combines the immediate
influences of the site with repetitive structural elements, delivering a
variation of the initial principle as the resulting object. The anamorphic bridge
is derived from the convergence of vantage points at a given site.
Through a process of intersection and trimming, a figure emerges that
provides circulation and outlook spaces. Adaptive modules provide
openings directed back to these vantage points in addition to acting as
the primary structural elements.
The effects of creasing in material and form are introduced in a way
achieving continuities in surface as well as varied linear spaces. The
overall curvature of the surface evokes the spatial perception
characteristic of bridging structures, with their archetypes using
concave or convex appearance in order to traverse a divide. The project
achieves the plasticity inherent to new paradigms of figuration and
emergent techniques of construction and fabrication processes.
