You have been magically trapped in Purgatory and have to find a way to survive until you can find a way to escape. I know i have a lot left to do to really make it fully match my vision, but it's at the point it's fun and playable. I've learned so much since starting work on this. As dusk approaches, the growing glow of its programmable color-changing LEDs lends safe visibility and a playful ambiance to the promenade.Purgatory was a wild idea i had before i knew anything about modding back in 2020. At midday, the glass ignites with white brilliance in crisp contrast to the shade it projects. It is a meeting point, a threshold, an awning, and a shady respite.
In its off-hours, the canopy operates as an occupiable urban landmark.
The sloped bays typically remain accessible during performances, setting the scene for theatrical interactivity as passersby momentarily become part of the show. In subtle contrast, the eastern two bays ramp gently down, guiding pedestrian traffic to and from an existing public pass-through. The louvered aluminum canopy above serves alternately as sunshade and light reflector.īrick paving at the western three bays rises flush with the exposed grade beams to form a level, understated stage.
Sloped glass planes maximize acoustic performance, protect performers from weather, and channel rainwater to drain. Six wide-flange steel columns between each bay rise through the canopy to support a cantilevered superstructure from which hangs a layered assembly of joists, louvers, and glazing. The project caps a major access corridor and provides a central performance venue with technical infrastructure for small-to-midsize performances. Forty years after central downtown was reserved for pedestrians and twenty years since its most recent improvements, the redesign caters to a broad demographic, building local pride and invigorating public space outside small businesses. The canopy and stage anchor a comprehensive pedestrian streetscape overhaul.
