UNITED FABRIC
Unified Fabric
Concept, United Fabric: Fabric is created by weaving different fibers together. The connections made in fabric are similar to those made between Chicago and Paris. The relationship made between the cities of mutual respect, understanding and cooperation reflect the ideology of Lincoln in the United States and France. The plinth of the Lincoln statue will cascade down the base like a piece of fabric. We want this statue to be interacted withby allowing the public to use the base of the statue as a bench.
About the Project: As a team of three, we were asked to create a base for a sculpture representing the relationship between Chicago and Paris, to be featured in the park outside of the US embassy.
