end of journey.

This is just a short video documenting our final journey across the bridge. It records our personal movements and features of the bridges surrounding enviroment.

Scanning and sketching

interviews.

We wanted to do some further investigation into people's opinions and feelings about this bridge. Here is a short recording of one of our interviews with the locals of West India Quay and Canary Wharf...

Q. How often do you cross the bridge?
A. Once every three months...my husband works here.

Q. When is the bridge used more?
A. When it's sunny and warm, more people use it. During the day it's rather empty,
but when business hours it becomes a lot more busy.

One womans opinion on the bridge:
"it creates a boundary between the rich and the poor, Canary Wharf and West India Quay respectively...it also creates a channel of communication, we can get to areas that were previously unavailible to us...magical at night when it's lit up...before this bridge we had no way of getting across..."

These are background noises of the environment from our project site-The Floating Bridge. Moments of  people's interaction with the space around them and the bridge in particular.
