TIME CONES

Private Commission

 

Through its distinctive forms and combination of stainless steel and plant materials, Time Cones mark the entrance plaza of this office tower. Incised into the spiral ribbon of the large cone and the top ring of the planter cones, a text by renowned poet Christopher Dewdney describes the geological strata of the site and lists the glacial lakes which once covered the local landscape.

Time Cones act as both urban landmark and garden element, participating in the relationship between landscape, art, and architecture in the City of North York.
