New creatures are now inhabiting Milwaukee's Cathedral Square Park as the Massimals MKE installation was unveiled Wednesday, Jan.13.

Massimals are abstractions of animal forms built in the manner of massing study models produced in an architectural design practice used to explore the relationship between complex form, material, and fabrication.
