Hopefully with the intent of growth and personal challenge.

8/22/07 Desk Crit by Ted

The bridges seem out of scale, too large.

You might be ignoring the neighbors with the circle bridge.

From a pure geometric form, the circle seems to be ignoring the church and library neighbors, you are turning your back toward them. A square bridge would invite the neighbors.

Ted does like the circle as a shape.

The coffee area/billboard is a good urban move.

The park portion of the bridge may need to be narrower and as you proceed to the building across the bridge, the bridge become even narrower.

Ted thought to make the bridge work better, you should get rid of the street entrance and only have a bridge entrance. That’s not practical, but for academics, you should look at doing it. Another thought with the bridge is to take one bridge to the 3rd floor for a different experience than the 2nd floor bridge.

The cables worry Ted, the bridge line could be made eloquent.
