GreenNews:- Swaying Tree-Shade Sculpture Mimics Real Pines by the Sea

ARTEKS Arquitectura have created a gorgeous sculptural shade structure at a beachside park in La Pineda, Spain that mimics the shape of real nearby pine trees. The architects recognized the park’s need for shade, but were presented with the dilemma that salt spray from the nearby water would make it difficult to grow the same pine trees that already existed on the site. To solve the problem, architects developed a fiberglass, salt-resistant shade structure that would complement the angled and varied effect of the pine tree’s shape — and we think the completed effect is quite impressive.
