英文名称：America Arch LED devices

位置：美国

设计师：tim derrignton、wilson hanks

该项目位于美国德克萨斯州。waller小溪管理中心是该项目的发起者。一个拱形的入口大门跨越小溪以及上方的人行桥，非常壮观。该装置其实是一个拱形结构的照明装置，除了正常的照明功能之外，还具有美化场地的作用。该地区的水道环境不尽如人意，然而，它们覆盖的范围很广，它穿过著名的第六大街区，因此对该小溪水体的修复以及周边环境的改造是非常必要的。

系列性的临时性灯光装置吸引了游客们的眼球。该项目是有east side collective团队（包括设计师tim derrignton和wilson hanks）完成的。之后是由drophouse团队完成建造的。巨大的铝制拱形结构带给人们一种神秘感。半圆弧的结构直径大约为60英尺，它跨越大桥和小溪，拱形较低的部分位于水面下。据悉，该装置是从半英寸的厚铝板中精细切割出来的，然后与其他9个拱形段结合起来，再用螺栓固定。但是从外观来看，丝毫没有衔接的痕迹。

an arching neon portal has been constructed over a creek bed in austin texas as part of the third year of the waller creek conservancy’s ‘creek show’ event. the creek show engages the public with an underserved waterway in the city that flows directly beneath the famed sixth street district and through a series of temporary light installations.

designed by east side collective (tim derrignton and wilson hanks) and built by drophouse design, the massive aluminium arch is titled ‘deep curiosity’. with a 60′ diameter, the installation reaches out of the water and over a bridge, forming a perfect arch that appears to have its lower half concealed beneath the ripples. the form was custom cut from a half inch aluminium plate using a water jet, then welded into nine arched segments that could be bolted together on site.
