Architizer Editors Architizer Editors

Retu(r)ned Oak by Studio Winterich is a site-responsive public art installation in Oakland, CA. By expressing the timeless language of mathematics found in nature, this project hopes to communicate nature’s beauty in a modern way.

The façade combines the proportions of acorns from the region’s Live Oak Trees with the building’s structural grid to conceive a 3D tessellated pattern of glass that changes color as pedestrians walk by.
