2FOLD is a contemporary sculpture. Placed at the centre of the site, it defines a space for observation, meeting, meaning, reflection, play and rest. The incisions and folds create a micro-landscape that celebrates Edmonton’s environmental culture, creating an engaging space for its inhabitants. 

The concrete base is an abstraction of the Edmonton City map. The main arteries and roads are marked with incisions made of brass inlays. The materials – brass, corten steel, and concrete – directly reference the geological traditions of Alberta.
