Research Exercise 1: Design Influence

Santiago Calatrava:

Work Chosen: Jerusalem Chords Bridge.

I am interested in all of Calatrava's Works, but in particular the Jerusalem Chords Bridge. The elongated stretching "deck" of the bridge is unique and the cables give a very interesting appearance characteristic of Calatrava's work, and the contrasting angles of the cables crate a "woven appearance" On first sight the bridge seems very detailed but looking closer it is made of only from three main elements. I would like my work to be similar with the natural sloping shapes arranged in a similar stretching motion.
