The Monumental Tensile Sculpture, "Where Flying Fishes Play," at a new medical components manufacturing facility in Phoenix, provides a multi-use outdoor space for staff meetings and company gatherings.

Designed to take advantage of the weather in Arizona, it offers shelter while remaining open to the skies, views, and breezes.

The space is in constant use by company personnel taking breaks or eating lunch in the shade of the protective canopies, while games of horseshoes occur along side. A training building is planned to adjoin the amphitheater, which will further increase the sculpture's role as an extension of the work environment and as a venue for recreational events.
