Memory Bridge at the Latin School of Chicago
Big Atmosphere conceived and implemented an evocative, motion-controlled visual installation on the ceiling of a pedestrian bridge, uniting two distinct school buildings. Harnessing psychological research to positively impact students' moods and reduce stress, the space comes alive with “habitats” of color. As part of their curriculum, students curate additions to adjacent “memory/history” content screens. Now a favorite student hangout, the Bridge also honors the stories of school alumni.
Visible from the street, the Memory Bridge beckons the lure of a Latin School education to Chicago's citizens.
Part of our process is to present multiple options to enliven a space and feature your story in an engaging way. Rather than prescribing one-sided solutions, we strive to engage and include the input of everyone involved in a project team.
