Canopy Precedents

Each canopy, regardless of location or purpose, all express a typology of curvature and flexibility.  In respect to the CAPITheticAL this canopy can be adopted and abstracted to inspire and provide a flexible service for our proposed KITS (Knowledge, Information and Technology Services).  The power of information is vital to the function of parliament and respectively parliament house.  If the canopy were to provide the visual flexibility of a curvilinear form but also provide indestructible security through flexible tension and futuristic ideas to act like a shield.  The inventive and artistic ways in which each of the canopies convey, allow for a direct relationship to visual tactility as well as the idea of unity. This artistic notion as well as a second entity of security is a perfect specified bried to support the focus on KITS.
