Williamsburg Bridge, which connects the Lower East Side and Brooklyn, was studied to transform itself from being just an infrastructure and reclaimed in order to raise urban food production, public open space and a new city connection. All the lanes which were reserved for transportation have been redesigned and the heavy, non-load-bearing structure have been redesigned and refunctioned into new patterns by deconstructing and recombining. Contribution: All concept studies and technical research held together. 3D model and the Grasshopper definition was created as a group within different contributions in small specific decisions. Object based visuals of dissects and prototypes were rendered by myself in Enscape.
