Underwing

description

The purpose of the Under Wing kinetic awning is to take advantage of the unique situation of a rounded corner entrance to a building. The client is a retail tenant and desires a unique awning design that signals the opening of the store and is inviting to customers.

   The awning will provide shelter from rain for the entry to the building, but should not block sunlight. The mechanism will be human operated and the movement of the awning should create a beautiful spectacle. The shape of the awning will transform in order to wrap around the curved portion of the corner façade. When open, the awning will expose its kinetic nature.
