DESCRIPTION
"Skyspan"
Methodology - A cable suspension bridge clad in irregular shaped tiled blocks each containing a glass window looking out onto the city. These blocks can be multi-coloured to represent the many cultures of this city, or a more uniform choice can be implemented. Some of the glass windows can be etched with local history, images and facts. The block shapes represent the city skyline tapering off to the lake. I was toying with the idea of setting up the blocks to mimic the skyline from Eglinton south to the lake but i didn't have time.
At the support column I've added two sitting platforms creating a rest points and vantage locations out onto the city. I separated the pedestrian traffic from the bike/roller blade traffic. The centre bike/roller blade lane will be concrete and the two side pedestrian paths as well as the observation platforms would be cedar. The bridge itself would be clad in material found on the skywalk to tie it in with the other pedestrian bridges over the tracks. The colour is still up for negotiation.
Designer Notes:
1. "Skyspan" - gets its name from the Toronto skyline which inspired the design, and to tie it in with the Skywalk and Rogers(Skydome) Centre.
2. I was unable to light, texture and do beauty renders of this model as I lost the disc during my move on the weekend and was only able to locate it this morning. Now that I've moved and have a bit more spare time I'm going to finish this, tweak it and light it for you.
