Materials and Textures of Story Bridge

In this week, the group is divided into several teams. Each of us do some researches about story bridge much deeper. My group has to do some research in textures and materials of the story bridge. First, we decide to group the materials and textures into 3 parts, which are site, buildings, and story bridge materials and texture. Instead of just mentioning the materials and textures, we did deeper researches about the feeling which created by the materials and textures.

1. Site Materials and Textures

For the site, the materials and textures were combined by natural and artificial
materials.
Some natural materials are bushes, trees, water, rocks, and sky. And
the
artificial materials are steel, concrete, plastic, and PVC. Some materials have the
same
essence and some are different. However, we tried to group them as their
characteristic.

2. Buildings Materials and Textures

Around the site, there are some buildings with different materials. Some using woods as
materials and some using steel. Even the techniques of installation are also various.The materials can be the same, but if the technique of installation is different, it will create different impression.

3. Story Bridge Textures and Materials

The main materials and textures of story bridge are mainly concrete, and steel. Using concrete as foundation will give us the essence of supporting and strength, and using steel as the joint and structure will give us the essence of security. However, the steel structure are too complicated, because of this, the essence of security can turn into the essence of entrapment.


To conclude,All elements are the main thing that create the story bridge, and all essences of materials are the main thing that create the atmosphere around the story bridge.
