AMERICAN EXPRESS Putting Green Installation

The putting green project explores topics in terms of design and production; it was made possible by using new technology mixed with age-old processes. The project is an ephemeral structure created to attract and provide an opportunity for play and activity in a busy urban setting.

The putting green body was milled using a CNC router out of 17 blocks of polystyrene foam. This high-tech tooling allowed for a continuous surface to be seamlessly assembled on site with minimal adjustment.

The installation took place in Canary Wharf in London, in September 2010.
