The three Olympic medal standings are suggested in three mirror-polished steel archways that appear in a 15-foot high, 70-foot long, S-curved wall that’s a dynamic backdrop to Olympic clothing and accessories. Stunning graphic images promote the upcoming Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010. The challenge on this project was to make a massive structure—the S-wall—appear to float. We engineered the three arches as the main support for the wall, using steel reinforcement. With a decorative element providing support, light aluminum framing formed the rest of the structure. The client wanted the elements to be modular and re-usable, so each segment has hang points for suspension. A custom millwork base incorporates glass, colored acrylic, and concealed uplighting that spotlights the garments hanging above.
