This two-part design team project involved a model traffic-calming project in an older Scottsdale neighborhood and a new pedestrian bridge over the Cross Cut Canal along the
neighborhood's western edge.
The art for the bridge had to work within the limitations of a pre-fabricated bridge selected for the project, while still changing the entire character of the bridge. Infill panels effectively create a sculptural sense for the entire structure. The panels
are designed to visually move in two directions as people cross the bridge. This sense of movement
is further enhanced through the use of prismatic paint that changes
colors as one moves along, and a sparkling black concrete bridge
deck that mimicks the play of light on water.
