The Vine at 8th Street Market

The Vine is a collaboration with Hufft of Kansas City, and was fabricated by Zahner Architectural Metal. The project involved conceptualizing a solution for the weathering steel panels of a 700-foot canopy surrounding the 8th St. Market in Bentonville Arkansas. The project composes the attenuated structure with a wandering line, taking form as a half-tone screen, depicting 14 rivers, streams, and creeks sourced and drawn from the watershed surrounding the culinary center, scaling them and stitching them together as a single contour and projecting a bright pathway on sunny days.
