Terrena at the Gladstone: Complete

Here are a few images of Terrena at the 2016 Grow Op exhibition at the Gladstone hotel.

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.

The deadline is quickly approaching for GrowOp and the Terrena team has been balancing the intensity of final studio deadlines as well as mounting this extracurricular initiative. Thankfully, the team has been able to continue its steady pacing and investigations into ensuring that the structure is in place and that the vegetation will be ready for the show.

Terrena Growth Experiments and Prototypes

Though the [R]ed[U]x Lab has been recovering from the excitement of the Lithoform and Flux projects in the month of February, the teams cannot forget their other roster of projects including the upcoming Terrena piece exhibited at the Gladstone Hotel's Grow Op 2016.

The Terrena Team has been busy experimenting with geo-, hydro-, and phototropism to find the optimal methods of growing the vegetation while ensuring the roots create the desired effect. At the same time, the team is wrestling with fabricating ways to effectively"float" the terrain off the floor for visitors to view this intricate proposal from all sides.
