project description
This project consists of designing a pedestrian bridge to connect the second floor of Building 9 with the second floor of Building 17 and serve the significant pedestrian traffic between these two buildings. The design must provide exterior pedestrian access between the bridge and the ground surface beneath it and have sufficient span and clearance to facilitate fire truck access below the bridge. It is also desirable that the bridge provides some sitting area for students to congregate between classes, a place for them to study and socialize, both on and below the new structure. The design must conform to all applicable codes, and it is preferable that the bridge does not rely on either building for lateral or vertical support.

This project consists of designing a pedestrian bridge to connect the second floor of Building 9 with the second floor of Building 17 and serve the significant pedestrian traffic between these two buildings. The design must provide exterior pedestrian access between the bridge and the ground surface beneath it and have sufficient span and clearance to facilitate fire truck access below the bridge. It is also desirable that the bridge provides some sitting area for students to congregate between classes, a place for them to study and socialize, both on and below the new structure. The design must conform to all applicable codes, and it is preferable that the bridge does not rely on either building for lateral or vertical support. The bridge must be constructed principally of wood and be an example of the effective use of wood as a sustainable construction material. Other materials, such as steel or reinforced concrete, also may be used when appropriate, but the best designs will minimize the need for other materials. The bridge should also be a learning tool, and thus would be instrumented.

CAHUENGA INCLINE CAHUENGA INCLINE elementary (diagonal roof playground)
The site is located at the intersection of Western Ave. and 2nd St. in Koreatown in the City of Los Angeles. Develop design proposals for Cahuenga Elementary School using the Program generated by the Los Angeles Unified School District. You are to begin your design concept by looking carefully at the site logistics. Therefore, the objective is to design a high performance school to create a better learning environment for children. Consequently, this will provide an optimum learning environment.
