Without, long light: A wide frozen river in late gold light, crossed by a bridge on slender pale piers that carries a long glass hall lit from within, skaters on the ice below, snow on the banks, the old city on both sides, and a tall gold doorway at the near end.
Within: Inside the glass bridge: a street of gardens and cafes under a long glass vault, birch and pine in planters, a glass panel in the floor showing the ice below, the snowy city through the glass on both sides.

The hour

Long light, and after dark

The same spot, twice. Take hold of the line and change the hour.

After dark: The same river at night: the glass street glowing warm gold across the dark water like a lantern, its light on the ice, the city's windows lit on both banks.

Today

The same ground, built right

A river crossing, as it is now, and as it could be. Pull today aside.

Today: The same river as it is now: an old gray concrete road bridge with traffic, and on the near bank a gray windowless box behind a chain-link fence, under an overcast sky.

The wall label

Pale stone and glass · 60 MW · a river crossing

The halls sit in the deck of a bridge, where a sealed box is the structure anyway, and over them runs a street of glass between two neighborhoods: gardens, cafes, and glass in the floor over the river. The warmth goes to both banks. The crossing is open all night.
