Sculpture by architecture grad adorns library
Patrons of a new public library in Waterloo will be welcomed by a 2.4 metre (eight foot) sculpture by Waterloo architecture master’s graduate Jyhling Lee. Lee’s creation, titled Origami Goose, was inspired by the natural surroundings of the library, where Canada geese are a common site at nearby Laurel Creek Conservation Area. It also combines her love of origami and interest in the environment.
