He simply wanted visitors to be a part of a sculptural \u201curban oasis\u201d experience, and it grew from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe idea became environmental,\u201d Weinstein says. \u201cInstead of just looking at something in the middle of the space, like a piece on a podium, I was really interested in making something where you could move through it, above it, and around it. Even with all the modeling and preparation, the first time you see it upends expectation. It&#8217;s a beast.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing, manufacturing, and installing this massive architectural element was no small feat.

But what made its use remarkable was not just parametric modeling, which was certainly important in and of itself. Fusion also fundamentally changed how the team worked together. For all of Nikolas Weinstein Studio\u2019s (NWS) projects, they closely collaborate with the global firm Arup to validate their designs, and Mangrove was no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During creation of a family of custom cable tensioning hardware, the NWS team was engaged in rapid iteration in tandem with Arup engineers. As the load requirements were developed by Arup, NWS was able to rapidly test and scale the hardware with Fusion\u2019s built-in FEA suite, populate new fasteners via the McMaster insert tool, 3D print the design and test it to generate feedback for Arup all in the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/13-image25-672x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84792\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7142633928571429;object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/13-image25-672x1024.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/13-image25-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/13-image25-768x1171.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/13-image25.jpg 942w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of the \u201ctie-cuff,&#8221; which was a system used to bind adjacent spines together for the Mangrove sculpture.
