The brief for this project was to create an inhabitable bridge for the canal that passes through Nottingham, meaning there needed to be some interior spaces as well as a connection from one side to the other.

 

I chose to design my bridge for the inhabitants of Graystacks student accommodation, creating a shared study space, social space and outdoor gardens. This came from analysis of connectivity that the building had with its surroundings, and I found that for them to get to the canal towpath it would require a very pedestrian-unfriendly route over a bridge primarily for vehicular use.
