Bridge Design

As a follow up to my last post, I wanted to post a few pictures of what I actually accomplished over Spring Break.  Any thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome, be brutal if necessary!

A Green Spring Break

Is not traveling considered green?  I think it is.  At least since I did not get to go anywhere, I am going to say it is.  

I spent most of my week designing tension bridges that incorporate eco ideas, whether it be a bridge based on the eco regions of Oklahoma, a bridge that incorporates a large wind turbine, or a bridge that grows plants on the cables.  My hope is that in the future, with Oklahoma City, or any city for that matter, I will have the ability to bring some of these ideas forward to show that not only buildings can be sustainable by design.

I did have a little time to get started on a home vegetable garden.  Although I have not planted any veggies yet, I was able to get the plan done, turn the dirt, and get some all natural nutrients and fertilizers mixed in.  Hopefully within the next week or two, once the threat of frost is gone, I will be able to get everything going.
