Learning Portfolio Fall 2011Peter Middleton
The collages and tectonic language studies we did directly before our transition back to models left me with a new understanding and set of ideas to reach
out with. I moved into more open framed explorations experimenting with volumes before
receiving the prompt for the final installation.

Prompt; Create something that relates to a specific site and uses kinetic mechanisms to show something that had previously been unseen
Concept realized at site with inspiration from Ned Kahn and Reuben Margolin.
“Complexity through repetition of simple parts”
The area that defines the architecture department is the court yard on the north side of Batmale Hall. It remains in shade
the majority of the day and is continually battered by heavy winds funneled down
its hall way.
By use of a “windveil” installed between the buttress and walkway I strived to
capture this wind creating movement on a reflective surface. This movement and light being things unseen before in this
area also mark the architecture department with a clear focal point.
Final construction at site; Kinetic sculpture made of, 1x2’s, and 5x14
sculpted metal tiles connected by ball bearing swivels with brass wire rigging.
