PROJECT DESCRIPTION:As the third collaborative project between Branch and renowned designer Volkan Alkanoglu, R.A.E. is a mesmerizing BranchMatrix® sculpture, standing 30 feet tall and designed to withstand Colorado’s challenging wind and weather conditions. With its abstract form, R.A.E. sparks the viewer’s imagination. As Volkan explains, “This innovative sculpture symbolizes the city’s forward-thinking spirit and technological innovation. Crafted primarily through advanced 3D printing techniques, R.A.E. embodies the intersection of art and technology, inviting viewers to explore the possibilities of the future.”
Adding another layer of depth, the color palette—chosen by Thornton’s City Council—was inspired by Colorado’s vibrant sunsets, bringing the sculpture to life with hues that celebrate the region’s natural beauty.
