This sculpture has been recently completed at Regen'ts Place in London, isn't it stunning!
From Yatzer:
The street corner is now alive with a public experience of space created through a joint collaboration of London based Carmody Groarke and Arup engineers. The rectilinear canopy resting 8 meters above the street scape is balanced over a series of thin posts. The project created quite a challenge for the engineers because there are no cross supports, several models had to be developed in order to securely suspend the 3mm thick piece of metal above.
Viewing the sculpture at night even further accentuates the height and depth of the public pavilion. The recessed lighting makes the installation come to life as it highlights shadows and illuminates the ceiling above.
It's almost as if the hardness and the structural quality of the material used is softened through the soft gold light as it become something you want to touch and bend. The floor is filled with color and creates the shape of the canopy above, providing a book end at the floor to mirror the canopy above.
