A small cache located in Butterfield Park underneath William Alsop's 'tabletop'; part of the Ontario College of Art and Design. The remarkable superstructure, that takes the form of a parallelepiped (9m high, 31m wide and 84m long), with striking black and white pixellated skin, stands 26 metres above the ground on 12 multi-coloured legs. The structure is held up primarily by the central core. It was built like half of a suspension bridge. The core is equivalent to the tower at one end of the bridge, and the legs are equivalent to the suspension cables. The legs, which are longer than the building height, are approximately 100' (10 storeys) high. They are hollow and made of steel approx 1" thick, each leg weighs 18,000 pounds. The legs were made in Pennsylvania and were originally meant to be natural gas pipeline. The core sits on 12 foundation "caissons" made of concrete with steel reinforcing, each of which is five feet in diameter and extends 40 to 60 feet into the earth, plus five feet into the bedrock. Each of the six pairs of legs sits on five caissons, again made of concrete with steel reinforcing and extending into the bedrock; these caissons are each eight feet in diameter.
Best viewed at night with all the lights shining on it. Bring your own writing instrument.
