A metallic, woven wall with integrated blue neon lighting lines the interior of the Minneapolis Skyway system. The skyway connects buildings in downtown Minneapolis, providing a climate-controlled pedestrian walkway. This architectural feature is part of the extensive network of enclosed pedestrian bridges that define the urban experience in Minneapolis. The skyway system, one of the longest in the world, was developed to facilitate year-round movement and commerce between downtown businesses and institutions.
