CITY THREAD
Chattanooga, TN USA
2018

Consisting of a continuous linear volume constructed from a series of large, simple steel tubes, the project connects visitors in an unused space in downtown Chattanooga with a single gesture. By virtue of its geometry, the project possesses many potential conditions. The design is intended to allow users to interpret the project and discover different ways to utilize the alley. In so doing, the artwork can be used widely by a diverse range of users over the years in Chattanooga, maintaining the alley as a vibrantly activated space as needs change.
