In the class during the presentation I was told that not the program was the purpose but a design related program. In this it was advised to turn back at the bridge itself and than use all the given parametric information and possible changes for redesign the constructive parts of the bridge.

Maybe try to put in all information about basic mechanical formulas related to shape the bridge and then try to change the bridge because of a changing program or difficulties in the environment. So parametric information is used in defining the height, width and connections of the bridge.

In the class also was told that other programs are able to use parametric functions in points. Maya does have a function of using geometry that looks like a point.

During class I thought that first the design had to be looked at again. Further all forces have to be defined, per m2 or per meter. So making basic mathematical formulas that shape the form.

Rudi Stouffs said us to formulate the idea and than try to define the methodology which has to be used. It is always allowed to contact and put new information on the blog. Further the contact of the whole always has to be in thought. Initiative always has to be there.
The tutors that are helping are Andrew and Elza. Questions and how to go further has to be defined. Information about the bridge and my thoughts can be send.
