About the Space: Located around Central Park (bridge)

DAY:

• Traffic/speeding
• Two way bridges/ with pedestrian sidewalk
• Going South on Central park you can see the bridge from far
• Lots of light post
• Sun shines directly when its setting
• Light rail station near it (just bellow)
• Lots of construction ( houses, businesses)
• There is a park around there
• some people walking

NIGHT:

• pretty well lit/ different color lights
• empty (super)
• Boring (sleepy feeling)

In the day overall i think that its a really nice spot to see the sun setting and you get a nice view of downtown, but its a spot that everything is happening quickly, everyone’s busy so no one really stops. I think that a lot of land has been built on so there isn’t a lot of nature to the area making it pretty dull and square i would say.

I wanted to use organic shapes as well as use the natural lighting that hits really well on that spot . I’m a fan of Glass Blowing really the people who can do that are amazing, so I thought the project should be the focus of it specially since you can give glass very organic shapes. I chose light color and smooth colors so that it wouldn’t be distracting since obviously people are driving, I also thought that it would be interesting to see how the light would effect the glass since I also don’t want it to be too reflective. For the structure of it I thought about the glass hanging like water droplets which is how I wanted to design it as well. I thought about it like a clear open tunnel with transparent string to hang the glass. Not too sure about the materials for the structure since it needs to be sturdy and durable, and hold lots of weight, but I don’t want the structure to be too much of the focus. Im looking for transparency so you can still see out and so that the space doesn’t feel caged.
