Brookfield Place Toronto

SNOWFALL. FROST a 20-foot tall interactive sculpture, and GUST a series of hanging sculptures designed by Studio F Minus to illuminate Brookfield Place for the holiday season.

Snowfall: Frost

The work is inspired by the architectural motif of the Allen Lambert Galleria, the geometry of a single snowflake, and the allure of a freshly frosted-over window pane.

The structural members in the Allen Lambert Galleria were inspired by a fractal patterns occurring in nature. Studio F Minus took that concept and applied it to the construction of snowflakes in nature. Beginning with a “Y” shape, drawn from the Galleria, then repeating and rotating that shape to create a new crystalline structure.

Visitors to Brookfield Place are encouraged to touch Frost. Run your hand along the sculpture and you’ll see that you cast a shadow in the field of light, the same way you leave a trail when drawing on a frosted window.

Snowfall: Gust

The work is inspired by the architectural motif of the Allen Lambert Galleria, the geometry of a single snowflake, and the falling of snow through a gentle breeze.

To arrive at the design of Gust, artist-team Studio F Minus considered how the Y-shaped structural members in the Galleria were inspired by fractal patterns occurring in nature.
