This sign is within a few inches of the skyway glass. You can walk up to it, and look down 20 feet to the sidewalk. It forces a different perspective on you, a perspective you could only get in a gantry crane or cherry picker otherwise. Here you are safe, enclosed by glass and steel, yet still pulled up and away from the human scale of the sidewalk into the architectural space where only birds and dreaming people live.
