Sketchup Model with Moving Elements

The moving element consists of a staircase (ramp) depicted by the massing model below, the movement was inspired by the article where the Gateshead Millenium Bridge has a mechanism that allows for the transport of individuals and vehicles.

 This philosophy of movement was taken into the design of the ramp that moves from the lower level to upper. When in the lower level the ramp allows pedestrian access from the ground level to the bridge.

When the ramp is elevated to the bridge level it is able to provide access to the lecture hall and rooms located in the upper area of the bridge.
