Jenny Sabin & Marcus Guillard | Artist Talk, Google Mountain View, Eddy Sculpture

Architectural designer Jenny Sabin and her team at Jenny Sabin Studio, known for elegant sculptures and installations inspired by nature, science, and technology, worked with One Hat One Hand to create a mesmerizing sculpture for the Google Bay View Campus, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Heatherwick Studio.


The 40-foot high form, Eddy and Shroud, is inspired by the characteristics of the local biomes, translated into a structure that carries a lightweight gossamer assembly of fabric components, a white stretch membrane of fabric, and a bespoke pattern in different interactions and densities. The sculpture communicates with a weather station on the roof of the building, which broadcasts data in light throughout the tower.


Co-Founder and Creative Director Marcus Guillard sat down with Jenny Sabin after a particularly exhausting install day at the Google Mountain View location to chat about Eddy and Shroud. Here's their chat:
