Name of Work: STUUP

Concrete / 95''w x 70''d x 24''h

About the Work:
STUUP celebrates the casual form of the “stoop hangout,” taking the concept a step further to unite all its participants. Unlike the everyday linear stoop – which requires participants to bend, turn, reach, and talk over each other – STUUP's “U” shape offers a natural, enclosed space for group gathering. Applying a little bend to the form promotes social engagement in a familiar, yet novel way. Cast in concrete, STUUP is weather- and vandalization-proof – as durable as the human bond. Its humble but unique form can easily blend into any urban environment, while also granting its setting a “wow” factor.
