understanding of framing and connectivity, includes a teaching guide, a 3D CAD file of the steel sculpture,
and a shear connection calculator tool. Over 100 universities across the country have the steel sculpture
as public art on campus grounds.

The sculpture rises approximately 6’8” tall above the concrete base it is fastened to. The overall
dimensions are L44” x W44” x H72”. The dimensions were determined in combination of the original
AutoCAD drawings and on site measurements.

Original AutoCAD files used to obtain a planview of both levels.
When over-layed, the void space design was derived by vertical extension of each square
6. COLORCOLOR
C l Phil hColor Philosophy:
The original color of the steel sculpture is
primer red.
The opposite of the physical structure is the
void/negative space, determining an inverse
color for the “I-Beam Void Space” sculpture
to be aqua blue.

Placement of the sculpture corresponds with 2 elements:
Alignment with the steel sculpture - connecting the two art forms.
Adjacency to two main entrances, one at each North/South location – connecting interior with exterior.

the earth.
Over time natural environmental conditions will reflect a full connection as plant life grows densely
around the base.

around the base.
In order to gain a true feeling of the “mass” of the negative space, the 4 cubes are extracted and
spaced 36” apart for the addition of accessibility and an experiential element.
