The Big Ring

Designed by Lee S. Brown

The Big Ring.

A unique 60′ tall and 54′ diameter steel framed and sheeted ring of triangular section with inset LED lights set atop concrete piers to provide a welcoming and visually interesting portal to town.  BD&M provided CAD design, detailing and renderings of Lee’s sculpture so he could present it to a city in Michigan to be considered as part of their ongoing downtown developments.  Once approved the CAD model and associated details will be sent to civil and structural engineers for review and approval.

Wheels In The Sky

Designed By Lee S. Brown

Wheels In The Sky

Wheels In The Sky is a 41′ tall and visually unique sculpture designed to resemble a 10′ diameter ball of fire in the sky.  Made of 60 longitudinal and 12 latitudinal plates of aluminum laser cut to a flame motif, the fire plates are supported by two rolled aluminum rings and attached to 3 hexagonal steel utility poles set atop an 8′ diameter concrete base.  The support poles are shown in a matte black whereas the fire-orb in the sky is painted a bright international orange.  Lee’s son Jesse provided the complete original CAD model and BD&M provided the rendering and detail work for quotation. The scenescape imagery for the sculpture’s placement was provided by Lee.  His sculpture is intended to provide a visually interesting and iconic attraction either coming into a town or in a city’s central park.  I think its cool.

Convention Center Sculpture

Designed By Lee S. Brown

Convention Center Sculpture

This Convention Center Entrance sculpture is a unique and visually interesting blend of shapes, proportion and grouping.  Designed by Lee to add interest to the front of a Convention Center, as he’s done with other projects, Lee worked with his son Jesse to develop the original CAD model of the cut steel.  As directed by Lee, BD&M then completed the individual segments, their attachments and position relative to the Convention Center.  Using photos and renderings of the Convention Center provided by the architects responsible for the renovation, BD&M was able to place Lee’s sculpture into the same original building renderings for Lee to present to the City Counsel.
