This innovative set of sculptural steel installations won a CISC Alberta Region Honorable Mention Award in 2001. Bankers' Hall Galleria is set between a series of central office towers in downtown Calgary and provides a sheltered space for office workers to take lunch or meet and chat around work hours.
The structure is created using a series of identical sculptural "trees" that make predominant use of special curved structural members. The primary supports are not only curved in multiple directions, but also of varying depth. Round tubular sections are used to connect and stablize the three legs at the base of the structure. |
