Week 3: Nancy Nowacek

In this week’s walk to the edge, consider bridges—on foot or virtually, through StreetView or through the links provided to different city maps.

You may encounter some of the 2072 bridges in the city…You might need to construct a few bridges to the edge: mapping a safe route, or packing a bag of supplies…

Moving towards the edge might forge connections to different feelings, memories, cultures or perspectives.

Think about the anchors of your crossing—where you start and end—in mind, body, and space. Contemplate it’s span, or experiences you have along the way: how the sounds, smells, and air change.

At the edge, spend a moment reflecting on a bridge you think the city will need in the future. There may be many. What would they look like? Be made of? How can the waterfront and waterways help build bridges to the future you envision?
