Location | Kennesaw State University Marietta Campus

Description | Conhexion Canopy redefines the function of a canopied walkway by programming the space through the use of an interconnected system of hexagonal modules. These modules provide shelter from rain and sun for those that pass below, while also allowing access to an upper level space for a variety of activities. After multiple attemps at defining the form of both the large and small modules, a geometry that allowed an open passageway below and strong support above was found in the abstracted catenary curve of the columns, with a formwork that adapts to the height needed. The end result is space-making that transforms movement accross campus into more than just circulation; the journey becomes the destination.
