The Convergence Sculpture by Chris Fox flows cohesively. This sculpture is located in the lobby and atrium of the Global Switch data center solutions office building in Paris, France.
Convergence was planned through brilliant modeling software and cutting-edge technology techniques, resulting in this 370-meter steel structure. It used parametric design models to allow the sculpture to run together through its entirety. Covergence is intertwined together, and then stops at certain points as the structure passes through walls. The structure moves through the atrium and lobby wrapping and twisting its way in a distinct pattern flowing above the people.
This project took two years to create from 2010-2011 in London, Paris and Sydney. This project's fluid and solid structure is quite the distinct architectural art form for the entrance to an office building.

Trend Themes
1. Parametric Design Sculptures - The use of parametric design modelling techniques innovates traditional sculpture designs resulting in fluid and distinct masterpieces.
2. Steel Art Installations in Architecture - The integration of unconventional steel structures in building designs creates unique art installations that enhance the aesthetic of the property.
3. Data Center Art - The incorporation of art installations in data centers create a more engaging and visually stimulating work environment for employees.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architecture industries can explore incorporating parametric design modelling in their projects to create innovative and unique building structures.
2. Art - Art industries have the opportunity to expand into the field of steel sculptures, particularly in the creation of large-scale art installations for public spaces.
3. Technology - Data center technology companies can integrate art installations into their office spaces to promote creativity and boost employee engagement.
