Singular Canopy part II

This is the sketch I made this morning of the Canopy project I mention in the past posting (click on the picture to see a bigger one). It's a birdeyes view of the project, intended to show the relationship of the canopy to the rest of the surroundings.

This project is situated in one of the only two green park left in the Houston's Medical Center. I am hoping that the structure will hold it's ground and enchances the one little green space that people can relax and "enjoy" their stressful days.

I called it the seedling design. It is based on the metaphor of life and growth (well, it's at one of the entrance of a hospital).

The shape of the canopy, ties in the design of the existing landscape to the existing building. At the same time, it's symmetry, suggest formality. The canopy works as both a functional structure and as a sculpture in the garden.

Inspired.
