The Drum at Biidaasige Park | Completed 2026.
Rooted in the theme of the 13 moons, this shade structure speaks to time, lunar cycles, gathering, ceremony, and reconnection with water.
Mercedes + Singh detailed and fabricated the metal components: translating the artwork into perforated metal assemblies that filter light, cast shadow, and help shape the pavilion’s atmosphere.
Pattern, structure, ceremony, and craft: brought into the built environment using contemporary tools. Parametric cutting files and geometry rationalization using Rhino+Grasshopper. All panels cut in house on our hi def plasma machine and fabricated in house.
