So You have 5 minuets to get from the ground floor all the way to the liberty avoiding the traffic? Well have no fear, the magicians ramp is here! The 3 levelled ramp spins on its axis in case people are needing to get to a lecture or studio on time.

This instrument comes into practise depending on the weather outcomes. It both enforces students to participate in class and activities despite unpleasant environments

The Involvement of Biometric Design in my Bridge

Including my concept of achieving a bridge representing the importance of biometrics in computational design has made me dive deeper into researching natural elements in which prove to emergent in their environments. So natural elements that are designed for a purpose in its environment aswell as asphetics. The natural phenomenon my direction has been focused on is the the Conch shell.


The shell of the Conch is contains multiple layers of micro-organisms, to create a hard surface and to protect the Conch from any outer injury.

This is a proven fact as regular Conches live up to 7 years, while the Queen Conch can live another 30.

To present this idea into my design it influences my design to be a structural secutiy system, perhaps with a glass layering over some surfaces to include nature into detail, but use a thick material glass to protect the Interior from harsh weather.

As well, this glass facade could be part of my moving elements. Opens and closes for ventilation and natural heating, yet closes depending on weather.

Even the Spiral look of the shell integers me. It is beautifully layered and creates a vast majority of space and rotation.

 The Shell

I believe the shell type bridge both applies to my concept as it takes the shells dominant supportive yet elegant structure into its design, featuring natural Emergence.
