Final Model: Phase III

The canopy aspect to the model
is near completion. Any excess
pieces of tubing left over from
the seating construction were
sawed into 2" pieces. Each
individual piece is cut, linked to
another piece, then stapled back
together. They are all linked
together like a chain, then linked
together again to form one large
piece. Different widths and colors
of tubes are used to add variety.
Some of the pieces in this canopy
are from the large carpet tubes,
and will later be clamped onto
the larger structural arms.

As for the structure's green
spaces, the studio has
returned to the idea of cutting
small circular pieces of grass
from parcels of sod and
inserting them into vertical
tubes. One tray of 30 pieces
has been made so far. Many
more are to come.
