When thinking about the beautiful city of Boston. Massachusetts, there is a key item that has been a trade mark for the city for many years: the Boston bridges. Dating back to 1860, the bridge construction started in order to make transportation from one area of the city to another easier and connecting them together. Through my research both from Boston and the "Next" company, I was inspired by the concept of bridging individuals together to form a more united community. Taking the idea of industrial design and form of the bridge in order to help design the space through materials and textures, The new "Next" office hub was created.
