Structures - Henry Ford College
 

Location: Henry Ford Building, Loughborough University
Size: Approx 50m (Length) X 10m (height)
Profile: KT+

Brief: Create a structure slightly away from the building, to avoid damage to
the exterior of the building, to which the signage system can be attached, therefore giving the illusion that the artwork covers the entire building.

Realisation: A purpose built scaffold structure was built to hold the Crystal framework. This was also fitted with equipment that would warn of severe weather as the artwork may have to be removed in very high winds.

The artwork was also printed on supermesh PVC which reduces wind
loading without comprimising the quality of the image. An extra roof section was also added to reduce light being visible through the printed mesh.
