Structural Study VII

Our studio is contemplating the
idea of including some sort of
canopy to project up and
outward from our main
structure. It will provide shade
for its users, and will also catch
peoples' attention more as they
approach and walk by the
structure. In this study, two
vertical tubes support two more
tubes projecting out
horizontally. Between these
projecting tubes are 2" pieces
of tubing. They are fastened
together with rope and plastic
ties. These bits of tubes provide
a dynamic aesthetic to the
overall project. One notable
feature to this study model is
that the canopy is free to pivot
about the vertical tubes. This
can allow adults and kids alike
to interact more with the
project.
