RedBall Project in Paris

237 – RedBall Mandala

I heard about the RedBall Project years ago created by Kurt Perschke who works in sculpture, video, collage and public space. This 15′ high playful ball travels the globe visiting cities where it becomes wedge in different locations for different periods of time for all to enjoy who happen upon it.

232 – Chicago’s Mandalas

Back in the 1960’s when Marina City, designed by architect, Bertrand Goldberg, was first being built in Chicago, its towers were the first circular apartment buildings in history; as well as being both the tallest concrete structures and tallest residential towers in the world. “More importantly, they were an experiment in a new urban philosophy: building a city within a city.”
