Illuminated art pieces can be seen
from many places, distances, and angles.
Lit steel trusses support the LED mesh within.
mirrored in the Seekonk
InteractionA light display adjusts, reacting to movement of people walking to the end of the pier and encouraging engagement and play.
When not reacting to movement of people, the lights display information related to the community or location such as weather, events, tides, nature, or others as determined by the community.
CommunityVersatile community spaces provide flexibility to support a wide range of community gathering and activities, with options for pop-up food, events, art, play space, and more.
Icon
Three integrated lighting elements are proposed, with a focus on dark sky design:
C: Tracking three months of temperaturesA: Breast cancer awareness B: Dominican Independence Day
DAY NIGHT
The Bascule Bridge is an icon seen for miles, a reminder of the strength and tenacity of our forebearers. It is inspirational, shifting over time from utility to art. This future promises a new transformation, in which the bridge becomes a lit beacon, a canvas for artists, and a reflection of our always changing community.
Interactive art
Repurposed shipping containers used as pop-up gathering spaces.
Ped/bike bridge connection north to
East Side Market plaza
Nature playspace
Railroad swales with pools to encourage cascades &
infiltration
Covered event space
Sensors show motion on the bridge lights
‘Train station’ seating
Railroad ties transformed into changing light
structures.
Material removed from the bridge will be reused
throughout the rest of the park.
1. The bridge truss structure will be softly lit, subtly highlighting its iconic form.
2. The railroad ties will be swapped with glowing light bars.
3. An LED mesh will be suspended within the center structure to display rotating artwork installations, maintaining visibility of the outer truss.
