Modelling the Bamboo Bridge Test

So after Carla, James and I had decided to design a forest inspired getaway, we have divided the tasks up. I have the event space and bridge, Carla has the rooftop gardens and James is designing the treehouse structures in which people can use how they see fit. We have decided that we like the idea of using bamboo within our design so I have been trying to design a potential bamboo bridge for our space that would connect the three main walkways around the space - the hill next to the Te Ara Hihiko building, and the proposed walkways next to the accommodation and out to Tasman Street.

So firstly I created a shape that had an arched shape from a rectangle box. This enabled me to snap the bamboo pieces into place following the arch and in turn give me a nice smooth look. This is not how the bridge will look like, but I have wanted to create an experiment to begin to understand how I could potentially make the bamboo final.
