We first made triangular units in the air, using tabs and slots in the
laser-cut aluminum parts.
The triangles were expanded into nine-piece units.
Suspnded at ground level, twenty of these modules fit together like an
icosahedron.
After interweaving, everything locks in place with stainless steel
cotter pins.
Over 200 people participated during the afternoon...
Dan came with a lift so we could hoist it up
and he chained it in place.
Below is a view looking up at it from the floor.
You can come see it at the

building lobby.
If you are a student who likes this sort of thing,
consider this new course,

which I will be giving for
the first time in the spring of 2005.
