US Pavilion, Riverfront park

Spokane, Washington

Using the existing cable net structure (originally built for the 1974 world's Fair), the design team at GuildWorks, LLC out of Portland Oregon, reengineered and brought this stunning structure back to life in a creative new way.  A portion of the structure now contains 72 form found, 3-dimensional fabric sails that provide shade for event space below.  Before any new elements could be added to the existing cable net, the original structure had to first be extensively studied/analyzed.  We are proud to say that NDN Software was the tool chosen for this project.
