ODD PGH

The Curated Anomalies

ASK PITTSBURGH

[ SIGNAL NOT YET OPEN ]

STATUS: FORMING/ask
BUILT FROM PITTSBURGH

Three rivers. Bridges in every direction. Hills, tunnels, furnaces, rail, steel, machinery, universities, robotics, old industry, new industry, stubborn neighborhoods and a city that has already learned how to reinvent itself.

PGH.BOT is forming somewhere in that intersection.

FROM FIRE TO SIGNAL
  • 01Southwestern Pennsylvania became a major center of American iron and steel production.
  • 02Pittsburgh-region steel helped build infrastructure and landmarks far beyond the city.
  • 03Carrie Blast Furnaces remain a physical reminder of the enormous Homestead Works.
  • 04Homestead became the site of the pivotal 1892 steelworker conflict.
  • 05Pittsburgh is shaped by the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers and hundreds of bridges.
  • 06The Fort Pitt Bridge is historically notable as an early computer-designed bridge.

The machinery changed. The instinct to build didn't.
