Rationalism architecture inspired to innovative bridge design one being Clifton Suspension Bridge as see above and below, the innovation was the vison of going over the water giving the users a view over and through the 'river' via the bridge 








This Photoshop manipulation is one of my designs I took the photos myself and created a montage of layered imagery. The bridge inspired me, by its mass and positioning thus leaving an impression on me to create this design.
