[edit] RDM Harbor: Site Interactions
As a flexible mechanism, the Deployable Bridge can connect any points in the RDM harbor, providing a crucial link between water and shoreline. The system can forge temporary links where desired, regardless of activity or function, allowing people to cross the harbour freely in a multitude of configurations. By serving as a link between different modes of transit on site (bikes, ferries, personal watercraft, etc.), the bridge supports a range of transit scales. It can function as an individual unit or as a multiple, mass configuration of units. Strengths vary according to scale.
[edit] Deployable Bridge Connections
The Deployable Bridge provides platforms to circulate people through a wet environment and forge connections to other projects on or by the water. By offering individual and collective transit anywhere on site, the bridge can be constructed of single units, smaller groupings, or more massive clusters.
The bridge consists of floating square-shaped platform units (◘) and 4-part pathway units (✚). Platform units (◘) are either basic units or smart units (denoted here in red). Smart units are equipped with 4 directional thrusters and the capacity to send and receive information and instructions. Smart units are positioned on all corners of a field of basic units (or on both ends of a line of basic units) to effectively rotate and deploy the basic units. This allows for the freedom of any kind of arrangement and formation according to user needs.
[edit] Docking
In order to securely connect to boats, the shoreline, and other projects on the RDM site, the Deployable Bridge utilizes aluminum or galvanized iron cleats. The cleats are bolted into galvanized steel angles for optimal strength. Smart units are equipped with a 2-meter deployable gangway to bridge any discrepancies in elevation, in addition to an optional weighted anchor.
[edit] 24-Hour Time Lapse: RDM Harbor
This animation provides one possible overview of a 24-hour time lapse of the RDM Harbor site. The functional capacities of the bridge are listed by each time frame, in accordance with different projects located on the site. Different scenarios require different formations, necessitating a wide range of possible surface areas and various speeds for different scales of transit. The bridge can also support other projects by providing additional public platforms, circulation routes, and seating.
[edit] Deployable Bridge: Catalogue of Formations
The bridge can be configured to connect projects on-site with any point along the shoreline, or any boat or water taxi on water. The path of the bridge can be defined and reconfigured by users with different needs, allowing users to participate and interact with the transit system in line with personal preferences. Pedestrians no longer need to circumnavigate the harbor on dry land.

CONNECTION: Project 23 (Deployable Bridge) :: Object 17 (Cargo Vessel Tres Hombres)
The sailing cargo vessel schoonerbrig TRES HOMBRES 126 ton is a ship constructed by Andreas Lackney and the employees and volunteers of the Fair Transport sustainable shipping company. It moors at the RDM Harbor site semi-annually. As a network of floating platforms, the Deployable Bridge can connect large boats such as the cargo vessel schoonerbrig (Object 17) for repair and docking. Ultimately, the bridge aims to connect all modes of transit to and from the RDM harbor. This includes pedestrian, bicycle, car, boat, bus, train, and water taxi traffic.
