Aurum is a permanent outdoor sculpture serving as the centerpiece of Vantage South End, a mixed-use destination and public park. Evoking themes of nature and shelter, the shade-giving sculpture includes six, 16' wide aluminum composite canopies on 18-foot-high supports that complement the cantilevered and angular lines of Vantage South End’s architecture. Depeña and LandDesign developed a plan for the Vantage South End’s sunken courtyard. The space’s geometry and 3d massing overlaps and intertwines with itself via sculpted precast benches.
