Troll Blue Swell is a permanent long-span aluminum shade canopy recently completed in Venice, California.
Constructed of over 600 unique powder-coated, folded pieces, the project demonstrates a formal system that is both sculptural and structural.
Top view of the permanent long-span aluminum shade canopy.
The canopy spans 20’ longitudinally and 12.5’ in the transverse direction using no intermediate or secondary structure.
The installation’s form was developed via a deliberate and specific combination of hand drawn geometry and computer scripting.
