Wave Wall

Description

This sculptural wall frames and enhances a circular gathering place within a new park near a busy intersection. Using layers of perforated steel to evoke waves and the play of light, Wave Wall animates the streetscape and shelters a plaza. Interactions between the transparent, perforated metal layers create lively moire patterns that vibrate with the viewer's shifting perspective.
