Freshers Week Bridge Building

This years fresher’s week started with a joined task where Interior Design, Product Design and Architectural Technology students were given a task to create a bridge. The bridge had to span a distance of 3m whilst using only the given materials. The task was judged in two categories: The biggest load bearing bridge and the Aesthetically Best Bridge Design. Each group consisted of mix of students from each of the course.
