Point Pavilion

The Point Pavilion at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, South Carolina is a fast-track work of public art designed by the architects at BNIM. Zahner design-engineered as well as fabricated and installed the entire system. This scope included the metal screens and hanging apparatus as well as the structural steel members which frame the artwork's shape. The client's team used the Design Assist build method, meaning that Zahner played a collaborative role in the design's development to reduce costs and improve the design's efficiency and ease of construction. To facilitate structural analysis and fabrication constraints, Zahner developed a Building Information Model (BIM) which served as the entire project team's BIM function for the duration of the project.
