Caption

Piloti is an ultra-thin, self-supported aluminum rotunda by Marc Fornes / THEVERYMANY, commissioned by the City of Bellevue. It stands at the edge of Downtown Park, close to the towers but clearly not designed to think in straight lines.

Bellevue around Piloti is all glass, clean edges, and corporate geometry. Downtown edges met one deliberate anomaly, yet the city kept its face straight. Then this thing stands there, soft and strange, like it grew overnight and nobody wanted to ask too many questions.

That was the exception I wanted: not a spectacle, but something that quietly refuses to behave like the city around it.
