Abstract:
The 36 ft (11 m) high monolithic sculpture titled Stealth was recently installed in downtown Atlanta, GA. Conceptually, Stealth is an assembly of hyperbolic paraboloid shell elements. The structure features precise edges, lustrous surfaces, and twisted forms, and is made of a black polished conventionally reinforced concrete with polypropylene macro fibers.
