studioTECHNE|architects - Innovative Urban Architecture
About the company
StudioTECHNE|architects is at the forefront of architectural design in Cleveland, where our mission is to create spaces that foster community interaction and enhance urban connectivity. Our latest project, the walkway, serves as a vital pedestrian link that redefines the neighborhood's landscape.
The walkway replaces the previous Festival Bridge, a connection that was constructed in 1996. With the redesign of the Ballston Mall and the Ballston Exchange Building, we embarked on a collaborative public process to understand the community's vision for this essential thoroughfare. This input has been invaluable in shaping a design that resonates with the local character and aspirations.
Our design principles emphasize accessibility, modernity, and iconic aesthetics. The walkway is envisioned to be airy and well-lit, providing a welcoming atmosphere for pedestrians. By seamlessly connecting Ballston Quarter, Ballston Exchange, the Metro Station, and the surrounding urban fabric, we aim to create an experience that encourages exploration and interaction.
At studioTECHNE|architects, we believe that architecture should reflect the community's identity. The design of the walkway incorporates elements that celebrate Ballston's diverse and innovative spirit, serving as a testament to groundbreaking inventions and life-changing discoveries. Our commitment to excellence and community engagement drives every project we undertake, ensuring that we contribute positively to Cleveland's vibrant urban landscape.
