Terrena Assembly at the Gladstone

The best part about watching [R]ed[U]x Lab projects come together, regardless of the scale or scope, is witnessing the power of students in the Department of Architectural Science come together and help bring these works to completion. When deadlines are looming and project credit is not even discussed, students from all years come and help support their brothers and sisters in the program in these initiatives.

Here we see [R]ed[U]x Lab members from past projects step up to help their colleagues on the finishing touches of Terrena.

Snow Cone Assemblage Continues

As stated earlier, that the installation team were able to put the Snow Cone up within the day and in such freezing cold temperatures is an incredible feat. Taking a look at the apparel, it is evident that the team either decided to wear multiple winter wardrobes worth of clothing, or that blankets are making a comeback... it was that cold.

Note how the petals have different aperture conditions based upon the orientation to the winds... perhaps that was one of the reasons why the team got the Snow Cone up so quickly.

Going to and Working On Site

The intrepid [R]ed[U]x Lab team managed to get all the full scale mock-up disassembled and brought on to the site at the Beeches. Once on site, the team had to prep the area and start assembling... in near record-setting temperatures. The team braved the freezing temperatures by the water's edge with no refuge from the unforgiving winds. To say that this team was focused and devoted to the task is an understatement. How the team managed to not only assemble the precise elements but also keep smiles (or was that because their faces were frozen?) is an incredible feat.
