Bicoastal architecture firm FreelandBuck has designed Cache Me if You Can, a new installation currently on view in King Plaza, Palo Alto right in front of city hall. The installation utilizes imagery that captures the activity that took place within the plaza over the course of one day, documenting everything from fluctuating light levels to shifting shadows. 

Each of the 10 triangular panels that make up the art piece contain perforated patterns mimicking the captured imagery. Concerning the design approach, FreelandBuck co-founder and principal Brennan Buck said, "This project follows several of our previous large-scale installations designed as constructed drawings. In this case, we worked with images of the site, articulating them graphically as a pattern of overlapping circles. Each pixel of the photograph produced 5 circles in a range of hues that, when averaged together, match the hue of the original pixel. From a distance, the photograph is clear, but up close, the surface of the pavilion disintegrates into an abstract pattern of vibrating discs."

Cache Me if You Can sits as a physical manifestation of FreelandBuck's interest in exploring alternative forms of narration through design.
