Str<strong>at</strong>um <strong>Pier</strong><br />
100 Acres, Indianapolis Museum of Art<br />

Str<strong>at</strong>um <strong>Pier</strong> consists of a series of organically shaped and layered pl<strong>at</strong>forms <strong>at</strong><br />
the w<strong>at</strong>er’s edge th<strong>at</strong> provides a vantage for observing the expansive 35-acre lake<br />
and woodlands. The design of the emerald green fiberglass and steel structure<br />
suggest a topographical map with stacked layers th<strong>at</strong> merge with the environment<br />
and appear to be an extrusion from the shoreline. Terracing and curved edges<br />
reference the n<strong>at</strong>ural processes of erosion and layered growth. Sponsored by the<br />
Indianapolis Found<strong>at</strong>ion, a CICF affili<strong>at</strong>e.<br />
