Phoenix Collier Center
Phoenix, Arizona, 2002
architect: The Jerde Partnership, International, Inc.;Tamara Gould, Associate and Graphic Arts Director for The Jerde Partnership Inc.
Collier Center is a mixed-use development in Phoenix, AZ, located in the center of downtown activity, adjacent to Chase Field, US Airways Center and Phoenix Convention Center. The themes were derived from native desert elements: sun, scorpion, lizard, cactus, and the legendary Phoenix bird.
Each theme was distilled down to distinctive geometric patterns that were effectively applied to cut metal and cast stone.
