Wind Quartet

In 2014 I worked in collaboration with Doug Hollis on the design proposal for the Wind Quartet, an urban respite that included an arbor structure, vertical wind organs, cast stone benches, and a phosphorescent concrete ground treatment. The design was to located in Richmond, California along the San Francisco Bay Trail and adjacent to the Craneway Pavilion — the historic Ford plant now repurposed as an events center. The lightweight canopy structure takes its design from an undulating wave form, mimicking the incoming water patterns from the Bay. The quartet is comprised of four wind organs that turn in the direction of the winds, generating a subtle humming tone from a precise recess in the mast.

The images displayed here are a few of the renderings I created for the design proposal.
