colored schematic Roc's comment: Christopher Hutchins asked us to design a concert pavilion for the waterfront in Bangor. We did a substantial amount of work and came up with the design and development drawings for a unique cable and canvas structure meant to look like a cluster of maple trees on the shore of the Penobscot. When we brought it to the New York engineering firm for construction development their aggressive and condescending approach made me suggest we drop the project. Chris agreed and the disappointment of the experience lead to our abandoning the project. I have a great model made of wood and mylar at home. Wish this one had gone another way.
