We have been working on the Research Through Making Grant for about a month. Numerous models and scripts have been developed as a means of creating form from a series of laser-cut, sheet metal cone like elements. To get the project out of the workshop and into the world, we started looking into potential sites. We worked with the U of M Arboretum and Botanical Garden to identify sites that would satisfy their goals and ours. Below are the final images of the agreed-upon construction site. We hope to begin installation in about a month.
