Aspire

Abstract

"Aspire was designed to accent and compliment the library building in both form and color. It is a powder-coated, twisted obelisk of steel set upon a spiral of concrete. At its widest, the spiral is eight feet in diameter. The horizontal spiraling surfaces are approximately 12 inches wide, with a large enough top surface to accommodate the footprint of the diamond-shaped obelisk. At its base, the tower measures 28 inches per side. The tower rotates 105 degrees, while tapering 12 inches per side at its top. Cross bracing at strategic intervals reinforce the piece," CultureNOW - Museum Without Walls.
