A radiant five-storey archway and reflective façade overlooking the banks of the Grand River, 'Hello, Hello' serves as the front yard and welcome mat for a new district revitalising the edge of Cambridge’s downtown.

Passersby are invited to deliver a greeting or message at one of the three mic stations arrayed at the arch’s base—to their friends, a stranger, the city, or the river. (“Hello River, how are you?”) Voices travel up the archway in shafts of colour, transforming into a playful message of music and light. While voices intermingle to create a singular harmonic moment, the wave-sculpted façade that serves as Hello, Hello’s backdrop reflects the constantly evolving scene before it.

In our Babelesque world that is so often confined to the size of a screen, 'Hello, Hello' uses the human voice to create musical bridges between people, offering an invitation to connect beyond words.
