Siah Armajani Siah Armajani One of Siah Armajani's abiding artistic concerns has been the creation of a truly public art that unites structure with site and use. His designs for bridges, reading rooms, houses, and gazebos encourage both contemplation and communal activity. One of this best-known local works, the elegant Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge (1988), links the Garden with Loring Park. This 375-foot-long span incorporates the three fundamental approaches to bridge building-beam, arch, and suspension. In other works, many of them smaller-scale, indoor pieces, Armajani explores architectural elements and construction techniques while divorcing them from their original functions.
