This bridge intervention is designed to serve many purposes in a very positive fashion. Located on the shore of the inter coastal waterway between NASA's Cape Canaveral and mainland Titusville, the intervention directly impacts a delicate breading ground for Atlantic aquatic life. The structure keeping the bridge standing has been broken into numerous smaller elements to provide habitat that will strengthen the bond with nature by mimicing mangroves that shelter aquatic wildlife. The path has a subtle incline placing the surrounding environment on display while remaining delicate enough to not intrude the view of NASA launches from observers located in boats on the water. The pavilion provides shelter from the Florida rain and sunshine while allowing fishing to the west and premium views to the east, which displays NASA facilities and rocket launches.
This project is a current work in progress, allowing the conceptual nature to be displayed. Keep a look out in May for the final project that will include a specific office branch and will introduce a physical link as a true bridge should, as well as, new grasshopper definitions.
