Winnipeg Folk Festival Tower

Client | Winnipeg Folk Festival
Designer | Hilderman Thomas Frank Cram Landscape Architecture and Planning
Location | Birds Hill Provincial Park, Manitoba
Year Completed | 2013

 

The windswept form of the festival tower acts as an informal gathering place and wayfinding marker at the heart of the festival village. Based on strict geometries incorporating musical harmonies, the tower's superstructure is constructed from salvaged and reclaimed materials, with the foundation completely removable if there is future desire to relocate the marker's position.
