de technologize? Posted on October 17th

This is an ongoing project from my last architecture studio….but its origins are in de-technologizing suicide prevention at the Golden Gate Bridge. Whether it is still applicable is up for debate.

The project started by taking a close look at the debate surrounding suicide prevention on the Golden Gate Bridge. Many solutions have been proposed (cameras at every light post, lasers along the periphery, and just a fence) but none seem to meet the public approval. This project proposed reprogramming part of the bridge as a means of appeasing public concerns and stopping the suicides.
