An entrance canopy for a mixed-use development in Pasadena, California composed of 400 folded “aerogami” shapes flocking” together in the interconnected five-story space above the main entrance plaza. Exploring the different types of social connectivity both at ground level and vertically, the individual forms imply multiple local references while their paths imply any number of real or imagined narratives. At night, the entire installation is illuminated, revealing a sculptural tree-like shape that alludes to the large historic specimen trees traditionally seen on the city’s streets.

Kipp Kobayashi

Claremont, CA

Wescover creator since 2018
As an artist and urban designer, Kipp Kobayashi has a keen interest in the nature of human interaction in our public environments and is in constant search for ways to initiate dialogue and to promote sociability within these spaces. His work explores how these overlapping narrative threads merge with the physical characteristics of a specific environment, transforming them into living and unique entities composed of our thoughts, actions and experiences.

In a career spanning nearly two decades, Kobayashi has created projects and presented ideas for cities across the nation and for such organizations as the Getty Museum, the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, Sound Transit and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority. In addition, he is an elected member of the Public Art Network Advisory Council which provides recommendations and insight to Americans for the Arts for the development and execution of public art services and resources. Based in Los Angeles, he received a BA from the University of California at Berkeley, an MFA from the University of Southern California and has taught extensively in the Urban and Regional Planning department at the Cal Poly Pomona School of Environmental Design.
