Walkways Through the Wall, Public sculpture at Delta Center, Milwaukee, United States.
Description
Walkways Through the Wall is a sculptural installation at Delta Center that connects outdoor and indoor spaces through colored and gray concrete elements. The structure incorporates steel and illuminated floor sections to create a continuous artistic experience.
History
The installation was created in 1998 by American artist Vito Acconci working alongside architects David Leven, Celia Imrey, Luis Vera, Jenny Schrider, and Saija Singer. The project resulted from a collaborative effort to redefine how people move through public spaces.
Culture
The installation explores the relationship between public and private spaces through architectural elements that invite people to interact with the environment.
