Anthropodino. Park Ave. Armory Installation. Ernesto Neto. 2009.
Park Avenue Armory launched its first commissioned art installation with anthropodino, a large-scale, interactive sculpture by world-renowned artist, Ernesto Neto. Using hundreds of yards of translucent material, Neto suspends a gigantic canopy from the drill hall’s latticework truss, spanning 120 feet wide and 180 feet long. Magnificent, aromatic “fabric stalactites” descend 60 feet to embrace a vast labyrinth of passageways and rooms.

Bamboo Structure Project
seventy bamboos were used in the construction of the structure with two bamboos completing a curve from one side to the other side of the project. the bamboo was cut two days prior to use to ensure that it was soft and flexible during construction - it would subsequently become rigid once built. it is possible to keep the bamboo alive after construction so that the structure remains green and supple.

Jeffersonian Serpentine Wall. University of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson.
These walls are called "serpentine" because they run a sinusoidal course, one that lends strength to the wall and allows for the wall to be only one brick thick, one of many innovations by which Jefferson attempted to combine aesthetics with utility.
