Yes, design does depend on implementation. It is impossible to completely
separate design from implementation because the design has to be built. The
design is constrained by the components available to realize the design.
Bridges are designed to use the structural members available that can
economically span the space where the bridge is to be built while supporting
the load it needs to carry.
