Spring Garden Connector

Finalist 2019
Spring Garden Connector

The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation was eager to improve the connection between several Philadelphia neighborhoods and the Delaware River. The Spring Garden Connector was notoriously dimly lit, dingy, depressing and it didn’t feel safe. The challenge was to transform the underpass into a safer and more welcoming connection to the waterfront, a major transit station, bike share hub and river trail.

Urban Sign and Cloud Gehshan: Philadelphia Rail Park

The Newly Opened Philadelphia Rail Park Elevated Park - Phase One

SEGD Members Cloud Gehshan and Urban Sign worked on the recently opened Philadelphia elevated park. Phase one is the prototype of a park that will be twice as wide and twice as long as the New York High Line. Urban Sign employed laser cutting and delicate metal fabrication to help the designers capture the feel of the gritty neighborhood while supporting an interpretive approach that is legible and tactile.

Trail Signage for the Gwynns Falls Trail

Trail Signage for the Gwynns Falls Trail

The City of Baltimore needed better identification for its robust network of hiking and bike trails. Cloud Gehshan (Philadelphia) created a new graphic language for the Gwynns Falls Trail, one of the busiest trails in the system.

The updated signage will improve the visibility, recognition and cohesion of the trails. The signs offer directions to adjacent highways, attractions and transit, which will increase the utility of the trails for commuters and weekend cyclists.
