Friday 4/20: class review

Today we discussed the changes that were made to the exhibit. The exhibit has been separated so that the three turbine displays are standing alone with a central wind sculpture. While we were searching for wind sculpture ideas we came across a wind sculpture in New Zealand that seemed to fit with our wind theme as well as have a playful appeal to the younger audience.

The sculpture is made of colorful blocks that have fins within it. The fins catch the wind and turn the individual blocks. Our group discussed the potential use of the sculpture as a central piece in the exhibit. This sculpture would also allow the use of more modular pieces for the exhibit displays so that the entire exhibit would look more united. By using a modular design it would also open the display up to different orientations depending on the site requirements if the exhibit were to be moved.
