… Well, it’s the project from Chris’s Introduction to Architecture course that he took at the Arts Umbrella at Granville Island.
It’s made of balsa wood, glue (lots of work with a glue gun!) and fishing line. It stands almost three feet tall and was one of the structures that definitely drew attention.
We watched this structure grow and grow over the weeks of his course. To the initial two towers and bridge span, he added details such as a walkway, railings, suspension “cables” and extra support footings.
I gotta say, it’s well built and actually fit without much issue in our car.
It now gets a premium display spot on top of the piano!
Maybe it was the Frank Gehry influence from Seattle – EMP was built in 2000 after all – the year he was born!
To dream big and far, we may see his buildings all over the world one day. Good job, Christopher!
