Project 0: Mini Design Exercise

Client: Google
Location: Bakery Square 2.0 Bridge, 6425 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA

Google currently leases several floors in two adjacent buildings on either side of Penn Avenue. These two buildings are connected by an enclosed pedestrian bridge on the 5th floor. Google is requesting proposals for a reactive, experiential installation to be integrated into the bridge.

Requirements:

  • Create a joyous experience for those passing through.
  • Integrate Google technologies or data
  • Allow for “passive” interaction
  • Give employees a break from work if they want it.
  • Don’t be obtrusive for those in a hurry.
  • The installation must be experienced from both inside the bridge and outside on the street below.
