‘cedar hill loop’ attempts to increase the hill’s significance within the local context via flexibility. industry-standard mast lifts and a circular rail enable the ‘loop’ to change elevation and rotation, thus allowing a diverse agenda that could include: independent theatre performances, small concerts, various exhibitions, conferences, readings, and more. when not needed, ‘cedar hill loop’ can be lowered to the point of total disappearance, save a small disturbance around the periphery. ‘cedar hill loop’ was designed by yitan sun and jianshi wu, and received gold in the international design awards.
