Chinook Arc
2014
Barb Scott Park
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Steel, acrylic, LED lighting, touch sensors
15' x 28'
This illuminated sculpture emits a soft color-changing glow. The form draws inspiration from the Chinook arch weather phenomenon unique to Calgary which periodically blankets the sky, and combines with industrial space frame technology. Touch sensitive lighting components invite physical and social interaction, and give the sculpture an emotive, perceptual character similar to a living organism.
Received the Mayor’s Urban Design Award, 2015, from the City of Calgary.
