This traversing structure has been designed to span between a column and an adjacent wall. Intentionally sculptural in form, the structure uses the bending characteristics and the associated lateral forces generated by layered plywood struts to retain the structure between the existing built elements. Threaded steel bars connect the struts and allow for adjustment.
