In this proposal pulses of light and color sweep across the bridge and curl up to the new Plaza. Tidal Song links up with New Rochelle’s traditional connection to the coastal waters. Nature’s forms are woven in a language of technology. From the outside, it is essentially a simple, bold gesture of light and color which constantly evolves into something new. Inside, it proposes to create an overall immersive experience.

Creating an interative environment is central to the proposal. The visitors will “play the instrument” of this space. A visitor entering the bridge triggers waves of light, color and sound. Each person creates his own song and light show with almost unlimited possibilities. Hidden motion sensors in the ceiling set off unexpected sounds and shifting light patterns at different points from side to side and along the length of the bridge. Energy flows as the light and sound ripple through the luminous volume.
