Event details: Political Ply: Recycled Evaporative Cooling Shades
Description
Architecture faculty member Jason Griffiths and Design students create innovative shade structures for the ASU Art Museum’s sculpture courts. Using recycled materials, specifically old political posters, they have built a gridded structure that will provide shade, respond to the existing architecture and inject color and whimsy into the environment. On the western side of the building, the courts are currently inhospitable for visitors or art due to the ferocity of our climate, the building materials and lack of shade; even in the winter, the sunlight can be uncomfortable for prolonged visits. The new structures promise to positively impact the visitor’s experience in the space in manifold ways. Social and educational events will take place in the court during this time frame to test the new environment created by the structures. Opening Reception: Oct. 9, 2009, 7-9 p.m.
When: October 12 - December 15 , 2009
Location: ASU Art Museum
