Cornerstone

Cornerstone, created by artist Thomas Sayre, was designed for the courtyard of West Regional Library. Cornerstoneconsists of ten roughly conical seats which are sprinkled across the courtyard, creating different clusters of seating groups. Composed of stacked disks of concrete, the benches are topped by terrazzo engraved with quotes and other data conveying a sense of the library’s cultural and physical place in Cary. The placement of these seats corresponds to the flow of the courtyard acknowledging the entrance to the building, the performance area, and the book drop-off box, as well as creating interesting spaces within the composition of the courtyard.
