San Pedro Creek Stitch & Link
Program
With San Antonio continuing to grow, we were asked to select a portion of San Pedro Creek that we would be able to enrich and make more inviting for the San Antonio community.

Concept
Wanting to make the senses of the occupier heighten, I proposed an interactive walkway that sat right on top of San Pedro Creek. Thin concrete plates, perforated with the constellation of the San Antonio night sky would become the envelope. Supporting the plates are steel beams anchored to the ground with steel cables.
Thought Process
My thought process for this concept was that while walking through the constellation tunnel, you would be able to hear the subtle sound of the San Pedro Creek flowing beneath you. Durning the day the sunlight would penetrate through into the dark space revealing the constellation on the interior walls. At night, with the help of flood lights and a lit walkway, the constellation would be projected externally onto the neighboring buildings.
