Helianthus Enorme: a lit canopy with seating
Alchemy’s portfolio describes Helianthus Enorme as a 25-foot-tall sunflower, 22 feet wide and deep. Its materials include steel, a recycled satellite dish, acrylic, programmable LEDs and cedar benches. The studio credits Fez Gaetz as lead artist and fabricator. The combination provides a concrete reference for integrating seating with an illuminated sculptural canopy.

For your project briefHow would seating, nighttime lighting and accessible routes work together beneath the canopy?

Lillium Gigantum: configuration changes the visitor experience
The studio distinguishes large and small Lillium Gigantum flowers: the listed heights are 31 and 20 feet, with 30- and 18-foot canopies. Steel, aluminum pipe, fabric and LEDs form the works. Its description offers cargo nets for climbing or radial benches in a non-climbing setup, so the intended visitor interaction must be specified alongside the version.

For your project briefWould the commission support climbing or seated gathering, and who would review the chosen configuration for the site?
