Field Report: One of these things is not like the other . . . and weighs 4,000 lbs!

The seat edges and curbs that will line the path­ways in the new park and pub­lic spaces are made from a mod­u­lar sys­tem of pre-cast con­crete forms. To save costs, West 8 designed a lim­it­ed num­ber of forms that can be con­fig­ured to cre­ate almost lim­it­less shapes. How­ev­er, the piece on the left is unique to join two stan­dard pieces at a sharp angle. And it weighs as much as a car!
