WONDERLAND
A sculpture that represents the hopes and dreams of young people, this bold creation echoes the fresh youthful energy of the building’s tenants.
Our Approach
To inspire everyone who walks by. A true representation of the architecture of our own bodies, the palace of our dreams.
The Opportunity
Heavy’s innovative approach to producing the Wonderland sculpture allowed for a highly accurate expression of the artist’s 3D design.
We used CNC-milled templates and a digitally designed assembly framework to fabricate the sculpture, which required 11,568 welds to complete and is finished with an industrial-grade coating.
Wonderland is Calgary’s largest permanent public artwork to date.
