Before drawing a bridge, ask what it must carry, what span it must cross and which constraints apply. Engineering balances requirements rather than finding one perfect shape in isolation. A small paper prototype can test one idea safely; it cannot certify a real structure. Our bridge illustration is conceptual. The interesting question is how you would compare two designs fairly.
