Three 60' towers will soon be rising at Houston IAH under the direction of Dennis Oppenheim Studio, Artist/Fabricators and METALAB, Architecture and Construction Management.   The stainless steel pipe assemblies will be animated with LED light arrays that will simulate the flow of water through the structures.

Metalab has designed a tree that will emit fog for Matthew Geller, artist.  Designed in parametric software and digitally fabricated, the kit of parts assembles into a 16' tubular structure with perforations for material removal to allow hand forming to exact profiles.  The tree will be outfitted with copper tubing and fogging nozzels as "twigs".  We'll be trying out the system this Friday and then ship the parts to New York to be exhibited next month at Katonah Museum of Art.
