Art Wall at Doha
Completed in the Summer of 2010, Helix is a project designed by artist Jan Hendrix with architectural firm Legoretta & Legoretta of Mexico. Zahner engineered and manufactured the painted aluminum panels and substructure in Kansas City and shipped the completed pieces to Doha, Qatar, where local installers placed the large metal plates on both the interior and exterior frameworks. The project involves hundreds of massive water jet cut and painted aluminum panels, and includes a 40' high tower in the center courtyard. The pattern cut into the panels replicates the drawings of Jan Hendrix.
