Density Fields


This installation at Materials & Applications in Silver Lake, Los Angeles is an example of an extreme cantilever. It was created by Dwayne Oyler and Jenny Wu and is called "Density Fields". This radical display of tensile structural support has made it difficult to determine whether the piece is to be considered sculpture or architecture. It is on display at M&A until March of 2008.

Wow. Well put as well, it does blur the line between functionality and beauty, creating functional beauty and structural elegance.
