    Embarcadero Center Wayfinding

    Published on Mar 29, 2013

    Boston Properties, one of the largest owners, operators and developers of commercial real estate in the nation, sought to elevate one of its premier shopping centers; an open-air mall in San Francisco, California called Embarcadero Center. The effort included the strategic integration of newly designed way finding signage—both traditional hardscape signage as will as interactive directory applications—to more effectively usher guests to desired destinations across a complex environment consisting of four distinct buildings with three floors each. Array Interactive architected, designed, developed, and installed a custom interactive wayfinding solution to create an intuitive, dynamic and simplified solution for directional assistance.

    I Love My Babies



    To My Children

    Loving you
    With all my heart
    Right from the
    Very start...

    You mean
    The World
    To me
    More than
    Anything you see...

    Always here for you
    If your scared
    I'll hold you tight
    All through the night...

    When you are sad
    I'll make you glad
    That Daddy is near
    We will laugh and play
    All through the day...

    I will do my best
    To fix your toys
    Teach you many things
    Give good advice
    And mend
    Your hurts and pains...

    I will take you
    On walks in the park
    Trips to the mall
    Visit the zoo
    Maybe even ride
    A train or two...

    When you are tired
    I'll lay you down
    Tuck you in
    And even find your
    Favorite sleeping toy
    Or baby doll...

    I'll read you a story
    To help you fall a sleep
    Close your eyes
    And rest your head
    Sweet dreams
    My little ones...

    If you should wake
    In the night
    Have a bad dream
    Hear a scary noise
    Or need a drink
    Daddy will be there...

    I will stay
    Until all is better
    Even fall a sleep
    Next to you...

    To Fight A Foe - To Find The Flow

    You got to get fit to fit to fight a foe
    You got to be fit to fit to find the flow...

    Sure you want to go on with your bad self
    Cuz you're about to get down with my bad self
    I'll show you something you don't know...

    Kick that so let's go
    Blow for blow bang for bang
    Dang you nothing but a shame...

    I feel bad for putting you down
    But you the one stepping to me
    with all your foolishness...

    Get up get up you want some more...

    You got to get fit to fit to fight a foe
    You got to be fit to fit to find the flow...

    If you don't know this
    You go to end up pissing yourself
    All over the floor...

    I don't mess around
    I go pound for pound
    I am going to take you down
    Knock you round...

    Get up get up you want some more
    Let's go let's go I got plenty...

    You think you something special
    Talking all big
    Now you just squeal'n
    Like dirty a pig
    You dig...

    Why don't you take a moment
    Gather yourself...

    You just might realize
    There's no way
    You going to win...

    Just apologize
    Reorganize your stupidity
    Right out the door
    Don't even thinking
    To come back
    Unless you just want more...

    You got to get fit to fit to fight a foe
    You got to be fit to fit to find the flow

    You got to know
    I am not some Joe off the street
    I got the heat
    To beat to beat you
    Up and down
    Leave you
    Laying all over the ground...

    Sure you want to go on with your bad self
    Cuz you're about to get down with my bad self
    I'll show you something you don't know...

    Take... Take... That...

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Sometime in life our "foe" can be much more than another person... it could be yourself or even just and issue you have to deal with...

    A Survivor: Learning to be a Lover

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I was born a fighter
    Now I am learning
    To be a lover

    Born under the gun
    I have always been
    On the run

    Fighting to survive
    Struggling
    Every step of the way

    Just praying
    For the day
    I'll be free
    To be
    Who I was meant
    To be

    All I want to do
    Is fulfill
    My destiny

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I was born a fighter
    Now I am learning
    To be a lover

    A lover like no other
    Taken it
    Higher and higher

    Seeking to keep
    It on fire
    Achieving all your
    Desire

    I know I have made
    A lot of mistakes
    Along the way

    Now I am working
    To make them
    All right

    Correcting my ways
    And taking responsibility
    Seeking civility

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I was born a fighter
    Now I am learning
    To be a lover

    Please excuse
    The hardness in me
    I am still learning
    How to
    Live appropriately

    Striking a balance
    Between myself
    And the world
    Achieving harmony

    I will never be
    perfect
    But I am willing
    And able
    To strive
    For what is right
    And do what it takes

    I have
    Heart and soul
    A strong spirituality
    Deep desire
    And conviction

    There is nothing
    That will stand
    In my way
    Of victory

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I am no victim
    I am a survivor

    I was born a fighter
    Now I am learning
    To be a lover

    I was born a fighter
    Now I am learning
    To be a lover

    My Love is True

    My love is true
    All I need is you...

    When you are near
    My heart feels so dear...

    What will I do
    If your love never comes true...

    I am sorry for all the pain
    I never meant to make you cry...

    I know I broke your heart
    So let me know
    Just what I can do
    To heal you...

    All I want to do
    Is fix what went wrong
    And get back to loving you...

    Showing you I can be strong
    Standing by your side
    Making your world
    Beautiful again ...

    I know it will take time
    Just give me this moment
    To do right by you...

    If I can't mend your broken heart
    Let me know
    Then I will let you go...

    You can find another
    to be you lover
    But I will never stop loving you...

    You mean the world to me
    can't you see
    I am crying here...

    Trying to find a way
    To bring your love
    Back to me...

    I hope you understand
    I never meant to hurt you
    All I ever wanted
    Is for you to be happy...

    If you must move on
    I'll do my best
    To be there for you
    My heart will never
    Stop loving you...

    You Were the Center of My Everything

    There was a time I loved you so much that you were the center of my everything...

    Your gravity drew me in so close nothing else mattered...

    When I slept I thought of you
    When I worked I thought of you
    No matter what I did all I could do was think of you...

    Every day when I woke up and saw you next to me
    I felt like the luckiest man in the world...

    You completed every aspect of who I was and what I had always dreamed of...

    I felt content to live that moment forever...

    Then one day our gravity broke and we started to drift apart. I tried so hard to do everything I could to get back into your center but nothing I did worked...

    We continued to drift further and further apart...

    The part of me that you needed most was so lost and depleted
    I couldn't even call for help...

    I did not know where to turn
    So I fell deep inside myself...

    So far at times that I could barley even see
    My world began to go dark without your light...

    The pain became so unbearable that all I could do was hide...

    I never meant to leave you alone but soon I was so lost in a place so dark
    I could no longer even find myself...

    The further we drifted apart the darker it became...

    When all your light was gone I gave up hope and began to die...

    All my shame became a great big lie...

    Some how some way if I believed we were ok
    Then things would work out maybe some day
    Your light would come back to me...

    Then I would again see how your gravity meant so much to me...

    I would be drawn near and held closely
    Back to that place where nothing else mattered...

    Just you just me and the love we had together...

    Unfortunately when the light in my world began to shin again and I could see a path for me to be free of the darkness you were nowhere to be found...

    I looked and looked as my world became brighter and brighter
    But still I could not see you...

    I did not know what to do and still felt so lost without you...

    Eventually my world was as bright as could be but still no gravity...

    I found my self to be lost in a world of light because my purpose was gone...

    Now it is just me learning to move on...
