Today’s designers seem to love using new ideas coming from science. Science, in particular, has profoundly influenced architects, informing their knowledge of materials, geometries, volumes and natural forms. The purpose of a scientific view of architecture is to generate startling new designs, and that means more satisfying design, more eternal forms, more valuable places, more beautiful buildings. Newer structures often have an obvious analog in elements of the natural sciences, For environmental designers and planners, knowing this phenomenon of “emergence” is the key to getting things right. In recent years, architects have also been called upon to devise new buildings, in which scientists will research, experiment, theorize, discuss, reevaluate and present findings. Some scientists shy away from the notion that nature “aims” for anything. . How architecture and science will define each other through this encounter is still to be seen, but it begins a dialogue that places architecture in a position to enable science to reach further into the unknown and come up with answers to life’s mysteries

This is pretty much the final model. The only thing left is putting texture on it^^.

my bridge is inspired by the Habitable bridge project which was shown in Shaowen's blog. after careful thinking, I seperated my architectural school into two main area-student area and teacher's area. The student area include computing lab, studio, work shop for student, student meeting place, and lecture theater; The teacher area include academic stuff office, general stuff office, research place for academic stuff, meeting place for stuff and work shop for stuff. I am going to create a connection between the student and teacher area and I decide to let this connect part be the library since in my understanding, library is the heart of a school and also represents knowledge which can be the connection between teacher and student.
