Creation of three potential interactive art zones

1) Sound Tunnel: A simple sound tunnel running under Broadway. This would involve a low powered, robust sound installation triggered as the public walks along the creek path. As users walk under the tunnel they would trigger subtle tones and notes ‐ as if the pathway had become a large interactive wind chime. We have several existing outdoor public sculptures that utilize this type of interaction and technology.

2) Interactive Play Tiles: Based on the final proposed civic plan, or as a temporary installation, we can install an array of interactive outdoor light platforms. These platforms are robust platforms that light up and change color as users stand, ride, or walk on them. These platforms are very adaptable, and can be integrated within various types of landscapes. They are built using a similar technology to several of our existing works such as the “Learning Gardens” (a series of school garden planter modules that are currently installing in hundreds of schools across the country.)

3) Light Sculpture: A single or clustered set of taller illuminated sculptures that ties the art zones together. We propose a piece that would serve as a visual focal point for the Civic Center, easily viewable to pedestrians and drivers. Our team has worked on several large visual light sculptures like this; a local example is The Water tree in Vail Colorado that draws the public into the Solaris Plaza.
