What the project record tells us

Airport terminal · Salt Lake City, Utah

The Canyon: art integrated into an airport terminal

Salt Lake City International Airport describes The Canyon as tensile membrane fins made with aluminum tubing and composite fabric. Its forms refer to Utah’s landscape. The work creates an indoor canyon experience within the terminal, providing a specific reference for coordinating artwork with interior architecture and passenger movement.

Suspended glass sculpture · Salt Lake City, Utah

The Falls: daylight as part of a suspended artwork

The airport’s August 2020 installation account describes The Falls as a 65-foot suspended work using dichroic glass panels and glass rods. It records a custom installation platform and spring-supported cables that accommodate seasonal roof movement. The account shows how fabrication and building conditions can shape the delivery of a major commission.
