Archicad drawings of FILTER, the temporary in\u00adstallation that Wyoming-based CLB Architects<\/a> created for the 2022 edition of NYCxDESIGN\u2019s Design Pavilion, were used to de\u00adter\u00admine how pre-assembled pieces could be easily com\u00adbined into a self-supporting structure that resembled the rugged landscape of the firm\u2019s home state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Times Square billboards provided lighting during building, which began at 11 p.m. due to municipal regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battling torrential rain throughout the 46-hour process, the construction team built the installation using a tele\u00adhandler and a basket crane.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The structure\u2019s \u00bd-inch-thick steel plates, hot-rolled to resemble folded paper, will weather to reflect their journey from a Colorado factory to New York (where the salty sea air accelerates patina), and, once NYCxDesign concluded in May, back west to their permanent site as a public sculpture at the head\u00adquarters of fabricator EMIT in Sheridan, Wyoming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

FILTER was ADA\u2013approved thanks to its two accessible reclaimed-larch ramps, which were specifically designed so guardrails were not necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centerpiece was a 20-foot-tall, certified organic London planetree, selected for its resilience in urban environments, grown at Raemelton Farm in Adamstown, Maryland, and trucked to the site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree sat in a basin of hot-rolled weathering steel at the center of the 24-foot-diameter pavilion, where the floor and built-in benches were made from reclaimed glulam fir and larch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
