loading the cube...
The Cube creates a sculptural icon at the public plaza and nexus of the Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill-designed La Jolla Commons office complex. The architecture crops out the surrounding buildings and frames the sky, allowing The Cube to interact directly with the shifting and often idyllic La Jolla sky. Tilted up onto its point, the cubic sculpture both merges and contrasts with the architecture. Each face torques from its square boundary towards a cylindrical opening at the center that connects all 6 sides together as an infinite, cubic, torus form. As each face torques, the La Jolla sky becomes an integral part of the artwork, wrapping across the sculpture’s glossy, metallic silver surface. As the sky of La Jolla changes, so The Cube changes.
