Convention Center pylons

Addressing visitor needs

Originally designed for change- able information while the side- walks around the Convention Center were under construction, these pylons were adapted to

the Walk!Philadelphia program. The maps cover all of Center City Philadelphia and show cultural

and entertainment resources and accommodations. Pylons facing

the street contain a welcome graphic in order not to distract drivers.
