This kinetic installation was created as the entrance piece for a new Leeds certified facility. The sculptures use sustainable energy – wind, water, or sun to power blossoms or leaf-like forms. The four sculptures range in height from 6 to 24 feet. The imagery and powder-coated color are based on plant forms that work with the natural environment.
Services Provided

“May & Watkins Design collaborated with the Architect and Civil Engineer to be sure their vision was a creative solution, and a cohesive part of the overall building and site design. Their sculptures, Wind Water and Sun are a wonderful and appropriate piece for the LEED certified elementary school.”Michael Johanning, AIA, LEED AP BD+C
