Graceful floating fabric sculpture

A floating fabric sculpture graces the entrance atrium in the new
MediaCityUK Living Lab [1] at the University of Salford (Manchester,
England). Appearing to hover above students throughout the entryway,
the ribbon-like sculpture interlaces itself through the space and up
to the second level atrium ceiling stretching nearly 22m from end to
end.

Designed, engineered and installed by Fabric Architecture Ltd [2].,
Gloucester, the bespoke "Ribbon" uses a patented internal
tensioned structure framing system, ArchiClad, in three discrete, but
connected sections in a rotating form made up of 23 frames, each
wrapped in fabric.
