The Walking Speed of the Bridge Users- Pimlada Bunluthangthum (Cake)

This is a photograph of my overall bridge design where my bridge is categorized into three types of walking speed of slow ("chillers"), medium ("strollers"), and fast ("rushers"). As seen on the model, the "chiller"'s route is the green space, the "stroller"'s route is the ramps, and the "rusher"'s route is the tunnel.

This is the top view of my model where only the green space and the ramp is visible. The tunnel is not seen since the green space uses the roof of the tunnel as its ground while the ramps are connected to the side of the tunnel.
This is an overall image of the bridge design taken at night.
This is the close up of the "stroller"'s route where you can see the ramps changing direction and rising up (according to the ramp ratio of 1:12) towards the green space.
This is a close up of the green space where there are limited number of seats. This image presents only one seat while the actual space would contain 4 seats in total to maintain privacy for this chilling area. The materials seen here is wood and the pathway that leads you to the seats are curved to represent the longer walk and the more time duration you can spare when you see this bridge as a destination.
This is an image of the plan of my bridge where you can see the two routes with another route under it that's not visible. The two sides of the stairs are different to refer back to the site analysis that our faculty side will have one stair that leads into the campus to show that most "rushers" are Chula students. Conversely, the opposite side of the faculty would have 2 stairs branching out to the sidewalks to show that most users come from either MBK, Samyan and etc., not from the parking lot.

This is a section image of the front side of my model.
This image shows how the stairs on the side of our faculty connects right into the campus to the inside of Baan Rai Coffee where the shade is located.
This is a perspective view of the bridge from the cars that drive under the bridge.
This image shows the "rusher"'s route where it is a tunnel that is all closed except for the entrance and exit. The tunnel has four lanes for people to walk orderly. The light at the end of the tunnel is the point of reference that points out the destination.
This image shows the "stroller"'s route where the ramps rises up and changes direction according to the ramp ratio. There are two options for this route where the first one is you can choose to cross to the other side with a longer walk which is distinguished from the "rushers" or you can choose to see the bridge as the destination and head up to the green space where the "chillers" are.
This last image is the perspective view of the green space where you can see the seats and shadings provided for the users who are going to see this place as the destination to relax for a longer period of time than the other routes.
