Cosanti Foundation staff Roger Tomalty taught a silt workshop to BOC students in conjunction with the Paolo Soleri exhbition at Boston Architectural Center. One of the two silt cast projects was the pour of a bridge model.

A form of the bridge is pressed into the silt to create a negative space, desired designs are pressed into the walls of this space, then plaster is carefully poured into the cavity. This design is one of Paolo Soleri's early contemplations for a passenger bridge in Scottsdale.

The second half of the bridge model is complete and the model is on display. This report continues on 4/24 with photos of the second silt cast project created by BOC students during this workshop.
