Bifurcated Bridge

The Bifurcated Bridge was designed to connect No.16 Morwell Street with the extension of No.36 Bedford Square to help integrate the work of all the sections of the school. It was planned to build the bridge from pre-fabricated timber elements, using a laminate from plywood and glass-reinforced plastics. The indivisual elements were to be CNC-milled and manufactured in a controlled workshop environment. The pre-fabricated parts, were designed as integral segments of the bridge including handrails, deck and side walls. These individual sections would be fitted together using mechanical as well as glued connections that connect the structural balustrade sections along the entire length of the bridge.
