The three bridges can be thought of as three acts in a drama of light and color or three mysterious rooms seen in a dream. “It is after all, the mission of the architect who seeks to impact sensibilities to make the visitor feel something special – something elevated,” says project designer, David Wagner. To provoke magic with memory and emotion is one of our stated goals. The transformation of these grand entrances and portals do just that by weaving together dramatic lighting effects and powerful arrangements of color to alter the cityscape by activating the imagination.
