Sky Station Sculpture

Sculpted against the Cambridge sky, the Sky Station beckons you to pause. It’s not just a sculpture. It’s an invitation. An invitation to recline, to contemplate, to connect with the vast expanse above. The Sky Station, a permanent fixture here, was inspired by Le Corbusier’s iconic LC4 chaise longue. Its aluminum-bronze form, crafted by artist Peter Newman, echoes the contours of the human body. It encourages you to lie back and lose yourself in the clouds. The Sky Station isn’t just about individual reflection though. It’s interactive, bringing people together in a unique way. As you recline, your head naturally drifts closer to the person beside you. Conversation flows easily, sparked by the shared experience of gazing skyward. This first permanent installation of the Sky Station was brought to life through a vibrant community engagement program. Futurecity collaborated with local schools, involving children, teenagers, and adults in workshops led by Flour. The result is a piece of art that belongs to the community, a space where contemplation and connection intertwine. Come, take a moment. Let the Sky Station shift your perspective, from the everyday to the extraordinary.
