Exposed Structure breaks up the linearity of the volume, creates a sense of movement, and also defines space.
In my Bridge design, these exposed structures mainly exist in two places: skin and tubes.
The facade is made up of glass and metal pipes. These quadrilateral pipes support the large piece of glass and make the structure have an illusion of moving apart. At the east side of the building, the overhanging element breaks the flat east wing platform and therefore creates and defines the space either for learning or entertainment.
To stress the function of building as architecture faculty and embody the architecture movement, trabeated structure system is applied at the square house side, and framing system is applied in other parts of the building.

Lecture Theatre
When there is no lecture being held in the theatre, it can move downwards to create enough extra open space for gallery.

Plan
At first, I tried to use Zaha's Plan as her plan seemed to be easy to transform into my own plan design, and also her architecture ideas symbolised the future. The reason that I gave up my original choice was that the plan I designed for my bridge completely covered the space between roundhouse and international house, dominated the site and restricted the movement of my building. Then I put several tubes, composed of thick walled metal pipes in different area of my building in order to lift and support the building.
