9 Dynamic Art Installations Foster Interest and Engagement

Project: Deca at Camperdown Greenville, South Carolina

The details: Located in the former home of The Greenville News, the luxury multifamily development was crafted by Banko Design as a sleek space enhanced by thoughtful details, including artist Emily Mann’s Folded Friends mural. Inspired by the site’s print and paper heritage, DAC Art Consulting worked with the design firm and the artist on the 3D sculptural piece that is created from hundreds of repurposed books. “It was like a massive game of book Tetris, with [our studio crew] picking their favorites and incorporating their own flair into how they all worked together,” Mann says. Adds Melissa Bank, principal at Marietta, Georgia-based Banko Design: “This large-scale assemblage of color and texture accentuates the volume of the room while also adding warmth and softness to create an intimate gathering area.”
