Crossing the Pell - The Exhibition
The design proposals from the graduate post-professional studio, Crossing the Pell, was first exhibited at the Sol Koffler Gallery in Providence during the pandemic. It became a full exhibition of experiences at the Old Colony House in November, 2022. Since then, it has been exhibited at many different venues from the USA to Europe.

Pell: Venice
The Augmented Reality Table from Crossing the Pell will be exhibited in the Architecture Biennial of the European Cultural Centre titled Time Space Existence. Crossing the Pell’s focus on infrastructural reuse ties in with the exhibition’s urgent themes of Repair, Regenerate Reuse. The AR Table that showcases designs as experience instead of architectural drawings will additionally shine a light on the question of public agency in the reuse and regeneration of national structures.

Pell: Copenhagen
The Department of Interior Architecture was invited to take part in the UIA World Congress of Architects 2023 Global Student Summit with the theme of “Sustainable Future - Leave No One Behind.” Crossing the Pell with its focus on sustainable mobility was accepted as the project to be presented. The months-long collaboration included exchange reviews with other academic institutions. RISD Interior Architecture paired up with the Bartlett School of Architecture. The 2023 Pell Team was represented by graduate student Rachel Strompf who presented the Pell Augmented Reality Table in Copenhagen.

Pell: Washington D.C.
The walking experience is installed at the office of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse in the U.S. Senate Dirksen Building, Washington D.C. With the use of a VR headset, constituents and other visitors to the office can “walk” through the four 2.2-mile long designs for a glimpse into a potential future for the Pell Bridge.

The National Bike Summit is an annual conference in D.C. of the League of American Bicyclists whose goal is to create a Bicycle Friendly America through advocacy and support. Together with Bike Newport, our community partner, the RISD Pell Team 2023 exhibited the virtual rides across the four designs for Crossing the Pell. The designs were experienced by the more than 1000 attendees that included educators, public officials and bike advocates.
Pell: Newport, R.I.
In November 2022, Crossing the Pell debuted as an exhibition at Newport’s Old Colony House. The show comprised three different experiences that allowed the visitor to explore the four designs for introducing bike and pedestrian access to the bridge. Pano Tours on VR headsets conveyed the pedestrian experience with a 1:1 scale narrated walk through the designs. Stationary bikes of all sizes with a fully interactive cycling simulation allowed the visitor(s) to pedal and steer through the designs in VR. (Children’s bikes and adult tricycles expanded the age of visitors from 3-93.) A 40 ft. augmented reality (AR) table conveyed bridge history and served as an AR marker to bring a full virtual bridge into the physical environment for complete exploration in a holographic and fully animated projection.
