Serving as structural engineer of record, Structura collaborated with renowned public artist Mary Ann Mears to provide engineering solutions for her large-scale commissioned sculptures at Columbia Town Center. The project featured 14 interactive on-grade sculptures, titled "Petal Play," designed to engage children and families. These sculptures, made of painted aluminum and stainless steel, incorporated water and lighting elements.

Project scope involved providing structural support for the installation of the sculptures, ensuring each piece was securely attached to its foundation based on code-specified design loads and stability requirements. The finished sculptures, ranging in height from 3 to 30 feet, were carefully engineered to meet safety standards while enhancing the interactive experience for visitors. Structura's work ensured the sculptures’ durability and integrity, allowing them to withstand environmental conditions and provide a lasting visual and tactile experience.
