brian peters studio completes Text[ure] Screen
Brian Peters Studio has created two custom artworks for the main lobbies of Amazon’s HQ2 at Metropolitan Park in Arlington, Virginia. Text[ure] Screen functions as a graphic feature, corporate branding, and a security wall at the primary office entrance, shaped from over 600 3D printed blocks. Ahead, wrapping the front of the reception desk, is a composition of intricately assembled ceramic blocks. The two appear as a display of graphic pixels, the wall glazed in two shades of teal while the desk embraces the raw materiality of terracotta.

Brian Peters Studio’s works sit at the intersection of architecture, art, and fabrication, exploring patterns, textures, and forms. On the design and implementation of the reception desk facade, the Pittsburgh-based artist worked in extensive collaboration with ZGF Architects, from design to implementation. Creating a subtle gradient across the long span of its front surface, over 150 ceramic blocks with varying aperture openings were used.
