The Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design invited PAR to design a temporary structure, Infinity, for their annual ForumFest benefit held at the Sixth Street Viaduct in Fall 2015.

Embracing the brutality of the site with an extraordinarily light structure, the design revealed a subtle play on light and perception, its reflective forms changing according to the light and movement of people around it. The floating aluminum structure, suspended by a series of delicate steel cables, provided an undulating field for activity where people could celebrate within the viaduct. Elements of the structure varied in height, creating lighting canopies and table surfaces, where the ForumFest events program could be presented.
