Engineered Artworks offers end-to-end sculpture fabrication services, from concept development to on-site installation, for large-scale, site-specific, and technically complex art projects. We support artists, architects, civic agencies, and developers across California and beyond with fabrication, design engineering, and public art expertise.
We provide structural design, materials consulting, and 3D modeling for large-scale sculpture fabrication and public art installations. Our team includes artists, engineers, and designers who bring deep experience in feasibility analysis and creative problem-solving.
From metal fabrication to mixed-media integration, we fabricate custom sculptures of all sizes. Our shop combines traditional craft and cutting-edge digital tools to deliver innovative, thoughtfully designed works that hold up to time, scale, and climate.
Engineered Artworks specializes in kinetic sculpture fabrication—from fire-breathing dragons to motion-activated public installations. We design and build custom motion systems, programmable elements, and durable mechanical features.
We incorporate LED lighting, control systems, and immersive digital effects into sculptural projects. Our lighting solutions are tailored to each work’s aesthetic and built to withstand real-world use in public environments.
As a trusted public art fabricator, we work with cities, developers, and cultural institutions to build sculptural works that meet civic needs, reflect local identity, and comply with installation, safety, and engineering standards.
We partner with artists—emerging and established—to bring ambitious sculptures and installations to life. We support every stage of the fabrication process with technical design, structural problem-solving, and full build services.
We offer both physical and digital prototyping to refine concepts, resolve design challenges, and prepare projects for fabrication.
Our team delivers hands-on, transparent project management—from budget forecasting and stakeholder coordination to scheduling and fabrication oversight.
We offer technical consultation and maintenance services for outdoor sculpture and illuminated public artworks. Our current clients in this area include the San Francisco Salesforce Tower Art Installation by Jim Campbell—an 8-story illuminated sculpture—and installations at the Bay Area’s Exploratorium science museum.
Concept development is a critical first stage. Once an idea is reached in collaboration with relevant communities and stakeholders, the conceptual framework is refined and a path of development is drafted. Concept development is informed by the logistical parameters of the project as well as the aesthetic goals of the artists and stakeholders.
With the use of cutting edge modeling and digital design technologies, as well as a team of experienced architects, builders, and building engineers, Engineered Artworks accounts for every detail of your project, from start to finish. We make use of unique tools to present information and ensure clarity at every phase of the project. We present models, drawings and other documentation to highlight issues and drive toward their resolution.
Our custom fabrication shop specializes in producing creative works that represent your unique vision. We have significant experience implementing a wide range of custom projects: From monumentally scaled works to small, detailed projects and from sleek and modern to rustic period pieces. We approach each project as an exciting challenge waiting to be crafted into a work of art.
Engineered Artworks’ experience allows us to install complicated pieces, from elaborate kinetic and dynamic projects to heavy outdoor sculpture placement, in all kinds of settings. Our installationists are passionate about what they do and bring years of expertise handling all types of mediums.
Like any investment, artwork requires careful maintenance to preserve its longevity and value. From private to public collections, our skilled team repairs and maintains a vast variety of artwork including San Francisco’s iconic Salesforce Tower.
We work to understand all aspects of your project, build custom solutions to meet the last mile requirements, and plan vigorously and effectively to deliver clearly-defined results within the time frame. Our schedules and procedural maps are developed in advance and accessible by all involved stakeholders.
The Engineered Artworks team can deliver targeted operational, strategic, and technical expertise for your project. We collaborate with clients to determine build specification and project parameters, develop budget and scheduling plans in line with business objectives, and assign project tasks and resources.
Scaled prototypes of sculptural and placemaking projects can help in the process of conceptual development as well as defining project parameters. Engineered Artworks can deliver either digital prototypes or physical models based on your specifications.
In addition to implementing projects from conceptual development to installation, Engineered Artworks has experience producing awe-inspiring immersive events related to the sculptural process and the final installation of long-awaited creative projects. Celebrate the final installation of your work with an illuminating team-building experience or an aesthetically adventurous soiree.
