Linking New Urbanism And Public Art
Artist Bill Cochran links new urbanism with public art to promote diversity and join neighborhoods.
Cochran's best known work to date is the Community Bridge in Frederick, Md., an internationally acclaimed trompe l'oeil work that was five years in the creating and involved the participation of thousands of people in the Frederick community and -- via Internet -- around the globe. Today the bridge attracts more than 50,000 visitors a year, making it an economic development tool.
