Paddles Up by David Franklin

 

Integrated Design Engineers proudly provided structural engineering services for the innovative five-story paddle sculpture, "Paddles Up." Out team meticulously analyzed the design elements to ensure both self-support and secure attachment to the building.

​

We delivered comprehensive sketches and precise calculations for the sculptural components, addressing critical factors such as gravity, wind, and earthquake loading to guarantee stability and safety.
