Buildings 1992, Steel sculpture in Milwaukee, US
Buildings 1992 is a steel sculpture made of four rectangular frames with different roof designs, including two triangular and one curved form. The structure sits on a concrete base that supports the composition.
The sculpture was commissioned by the Milwaukee Fire Department in 1992 and placed at their station. It reflects the city's effort to incorporate contemporary art into its public infrastructure during that era.
The work is part of Milwaukee's commitment to placing art throughout public spaces where people encounter it daily. The city has made public art a regular part of its neighborhoods and infrastructure.
The sculpture is located on the grounds of the fire station at the intersection of 103rd Street and Fond du Lac Avenue. It remains freely accessible to the public and can be viewed from the street.
Each of the four steel frames includes two doors at its base, creating a playful link between functional architecture and artistic expression. These openings reference the building's connection to the fire station.
