Roof in Flight

The wings of a bird are both elegant and powerful. The simple motion of the wings moving up and down creates lift, engaging the ground and sky with each stroke. With rotating the boards in increments, you create a perfectly balanced structure that is both beautiful and strong. I only used 8 of the available 4x6's in an attempt to create the most powerful manifestation of my idea with the lest amount of materials. There is also an option to cover the structure with canvas, creating a pristine white covering that could be adorned with screen printed images or could be cut to create interesting shadows or to frame certain instances in the sky. A simple elegance approach was taken when when i started to think about this project and i feel this was a suitable "roof" for the pillars in Burchard Plaza.
