Shadow Canopy – Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places – GSA Facility

Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places commissioned Shadow Canopy, 3,000 sq ft of pigmented cement tile for the exterior of the County’s newly constructed GSA Trade Shops facility.

The 12″ tiles are hand-manufactured, one at a time, using a process developed in Europe in the 18th Century. Visit Cuban Tropical Tile for more info. Photos by Paul Clemence

A 7′ x 14′ hand-knotted wool/silk rug is installed in the building’s lobby. The design of the rug complements the exterior tile. Made in Nepal, it is Goodweave certified free of child labor. Rug production courtesy of InStyle Rugs, Toronto.
