Monuments in dialogue with their surroundings
Three sculptural landmarks to create striking place-markers within an ancient, mountainous landscape.
The first structure emerges from the graceful fusion of two adjacent arches, seamlessly joined in an architectural sweep. The region’s geological history, shaped by meltwater streams that carved the valleys during the last ice age, inspire the design.
The second landmark takes the form of a vertical ellipse, positioned at the heart of a prominent roundabout. This jagged, towering form pierces the sky, introducing a bold verticality and texture that mark the entrance to the surrounding mountainous terrain. A distant beacon, its organic shape blends naturally with the context and scale of the landscape.
The final sculpture draws inspiration from ancient Raths discovered nearby. Circular in both structure and social function, the design incorporates perimeter seating and echoes the iron-age forms which give the piece both a structural and cultural resonance.
