First Year..final work

Here is my final project from my first year. It is a bridge/program proposal for hollenbeck park located in El Monte CA. My concept had to deal with technology and memory and the crossing paths that deliver information. The paths caross but do not intersect. There is also a relationship of interaction between both sides that can experience the other but in a limited way. Kind of like a read-only document on your computer.





















This the park.... pretty, yet it needs some love




So I hope you can see the two bridging systems that cross over and under each other but do not interesect.













I wanted to force the circulation to not meet on the bridges but on the land to increase that sense of you can see but cannot touch, kind of like how we can remember but no re-live...see but can't touch or experience





































Even the canopies cross but do not intersect. This took some work but the final product was pretty stimulating visually. The density of it may take away from that fact that these two systems truly do not intersect
