"Presented with the challenge of integrating a pedestrian connection between Point State Park and Downtown, beneath an 8-lane highway-interchange, Pittsburgh architects the Stotz brothers responded with an elongated arch and walkway. Simple, soft, and elegant to the eye, but involving complex engineering and crafted of reinforced concrete, the 1963 vaulted portal invites an open view toward Gateway Center. Gordon Bunshaft, architect with SOM, amongst others, consulted on the design."
Launched in January 2021 as a collaboration between the Pittsburgh Modern Committee and illustrator Shane Henderson, Pittsburgh Modern Prints is an ongoing series celebrating sites of 20th century modern architecture and design.
