X-Ray



Addresses: The city of Venice has 473 bridges that cross the city, providing not only a means of transportation for pedestrians, but also a hidden maze of vital pipes and wires that keep the city running. Many people, residents and tourists alike, are unaware of the secret importance of the bridges that they use every day.


Solution: The idea behind X-Ray is to use a projector to cast the image of pipes and wires and all the inner workings of the bridge onto the bridge so that everyone can see it. The projector would be set up out of the way of the boats, but so that the image could be seen on the underside of the bridge. The image could either be turned on at all times or could activate when a boat goes underneath. This image will show what is going on inside the bridges as people walk on top of them and just how important they really are.
