The design, created by Cambridge and Philadelphia-based firm IK Studio, was selected out of 126 submissions from around the world. “Torqueing Spheres combines a simple concept – a straight line – with complex spherical pods which become deep, self-supporting chambers to create experiences for both the collective and the individual,” according to a description on Socrates Sculpture Park’s website.
