This is a shade structure for the Cary Town Hall in Cary, NC. I have approved the contract and am just waiting for them to give me the go ahead.
The gazebo structure in the grassy courtyard offers a dynamic visual focus as well as a shaded seating area during the hottest times of day. It is both a place and a sculpture that speaks to the expanding and embracing energies of Cary.
Inspired by the growth spiral of the local loblolly pine cones whose trees provided lumber that first shipped from what has become the town of Cary, the design speaks of the growth transformed into the high tech energy of the local community. Its material and airy lightness links it to the new Town Hall architecture.
