" ...design a school that forms a bridge spanning a valley..."
A way to address this is to think of the bridge (a structure to span a physical obstacle) and the act of bridging in architecture (to connect, to link together and complete as a whole). Consider the structural significace of the bridge(noun), the relationships, hierarchies created from bridging(verb), and the merging of engineering, space, and aesthetics. Take this thinking to work out how these two strategies can come together to create an interesting architecture.
