Acting as an urban trellis, this project features a sixteen-foot-high structure made of steel that mimics the skeletal structure of a plant. It is heliocentric and composed of hyper-parabolic geometry. Heliotrope is planted with a number of climbing vines providing seasonal effects. Nearby storm water is channeled to the base of the trellis.
