Nautical Swing
San Francisco Artist, Matthew Geller, was commissioned by San Francisco Redevelopment Authority for a project at the Hunter Point Shipyard development. Inspired by the WWII-era ship building structures in the bay, he created an assembly of components that consisted of a roof, three columns and a massive community swing suspended from three beams. The waffle-grid roof is parametrically designed to minimize weight and material. The swing glides on four rods with universal joints, with a sweeping view of the bay bridge in the distance.
