Mississauga receives an installation by THEVERYMANY art and architecture company that is both influenced by the pine trees that are native to the area and otherworldly in the feeling that it evokes… At the first impression, the dazzling Pine Sanctuary project, which is located at the entrance to the Riverwood Conservancy in Central Mississauga, seems to be a representation of the pine trees that are found in the natural terrain. The fantasy work of public art has a great deal more weight when compared to sculpture and architecture, despite the fact that it acts as a place-marker of geographical significance. Marc Fornes, an architect at THEVERYMANY, located in New York, believes that comparisons to the real world are necessarily subjective. It is possible that the item may look to be a flower, petals, or even a web that is spanning, depending on the person who is seeing it and the time of day. Through the creation of this interactive piece of public art, the studio, which specializes in the junction of one-of-a-kind spatial experiences and structural performance, furthers its ongoing experimentation with ultra-thin aluminum. The tall arboreal structure, which measures 26 feet in height, 20 feet in width, and 20 feet in depth, is supported by a network of branches that are light and robust legs and originate from a central location in the top part of the building. The formation of its one-of-a-kind geometry is characterized by the accumulation of fluid “macro shingles,” also known as pockets of space, which transform into branches that touch the ground, so creating a grove that is reminiscent of a shaded area. Based on the studio’s proprietary construction method known as Structural Stripes, the surface of the work is composed of 3161 components that have been digitally produced and laser-cut from thin-gauge aluminum sheets. These parts have been developed specifically for the project. In addition, the aluminum stripes, which are 2 millimeters thick, are twisted into position using the form-finding method known as bending-active. This creates a hybrid structure, which is then connected to a thin black spine that is created from folded plates. Every component piece, from those with linear stripes to those with arching components, takes on a distinctive curvilinear shape as a result of being laminated in different directions. Because it is composed of two layers, the skin reflects a dynamic coloration across the whole system. The appearance of rippling is achieved by combining a moiré of colors in a graduated gradient of aqua, chartreus, and cyan with white, black, and various hues of blue and green. Regardless of whether one finds the building from the inside or by going around it, one is compelled to feel a feeling of curiosity. In the shade of this ‘fake’ Pine Sanctuary, the facade never seems the same from different vantage points and angles, and the dispersed light and shadows engage in a dynamic dance, which makes it possible to have a peaceful and even magical experience.
