A monumental twin-tower gateway arch featuring a luminous bridge soffit and a grand urban approach, useful for precedent studies in high-rise masterplanning and civic entry architecture.
- What we like about this project
- The highly intricate, glowing digital or patterned art installation integrated into the underside ceiling of the upper bridge span.
