The 2005 Project - Bridge

 

What comes to mind when thinking of a bridge? The primary definition is “a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle.” For thousands of years, natural bridges have served both animals and humans by playing a vital role in daily life. In modern times, man-made bridges have transcended utility and become increasingly a form of expression and beauty. And then there is the secondary definition: “a time, place, or means of connection or transition”. In today’s society, many places or objects can serve as a bridge to connect friends, neighborhoods, races, cultures and countries. Whether in Cincinnati, the United States of America or the world, what kind of bridge is most important and necessary for you? This is the question that this year’s Architecture By Children (ABC) program wants to creatively explore with our 2004-2005 theme, BRIDGE.
