For the past seven years, the Coda (Collaboration of Design + Art) Awards have been recognising unique projects across the globe that have successfully celebrated interior or public spaces that intertwine art and architecture.
For this year’s edition, a public piece of artwork in Abu Dhabi won an award for the Institutional Category.
The Constellation, also known as a star piece at The Founder’s Memorial in Abu Dhabi, took home the accolade and rightfully so.
A national tribute to the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed, The Founder’s Memorial finally opened in April 2018 (after six years of conceptualisation and construction).
Both a monument and artowrk, the Constellation is The Founder’s Memorial center piece and it sits pretty at 30 metres high with over 1,000 geometric shapes that form a multi-dimensional image.
