Project Description
FROM EXHIBIT COLUMBUS:
Pettersen & Hein have created a series of concrete benches that interact with Columbus’ unique design history and physical setting in their expression, colors, function, and material. PAUSE is a series of spatial sculptures, which at once call for a meeting, a break, and the start of a dialogue. Dialogue is also the starting point for the design, which relates directly to Alexander Girard's original 1964 streetscape color scheme for Washington Street — a hallmark of the street. Many of the buildings have since been repainted, making PAUSE an ode to Girard's innovative color codes.
