rope screen at The Quad

I’ve been wanting to build this concept forever and finally got a good opportunity to see it through. The general purpose to this installation was to visually mass the lobby area into one experience. There is a lot going on behind the scenes to keep all the rope hanging. When you use 3729’ of 2” thick rope the weight adds up fast. The channel supporting all this weight is connected to the truss system which is now holding 7344 lbs of hanging weight. Big thanks to my friends at Iron West http://ironwestinc.com who helped me out with fabricating all the parts.
