黄瓜社区 created concept designs for the Dubuque Hwy 151 Bridge across the Mississippi River - the elevated and highly visible link between Iowa and Wisconsin. This classic bowstring-suspension bridge design establishes a graceful and iconic visual gateway upon entering the downtown Dubuque business district after crossing over the recreation and gaming destination of Chaplain Schmitt Island.
The illuminated bridge is highly visible from all points of downtown Dubuque (Video Example). 黄瓜社区 Planning & Design's Dahlquist Art Studio was contracted to explore preliminary design feasibility and budget analysis for the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation. 黄瓜社区's concept utilizes dynamic RGB LED color-changing lighting technology to anchor the arrival experience in downtown Dubuque and create a glowing and ever-changing visual experience, seamlessly integrated to enhance the elegant and graceful lines of the classic suspension bridge design.
