Fitzpatrick Center Sculpture Barnraising
October 25, 2013
On a Sunday afternoon in October 2013, the Duke community came together to create art in the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine, and Applied Science (FCIEMAS).
Under the direction of designer George Hart, four orbs were assembled and raised high in the atrium of Duke's Fitzpatrick Center. The sculpture, commissioned by math and ECE professor Ingrid Daubechies, will be a permanent exhibit in the building.
In the video below, you can listen to Hart and Daubechies discuss the project as a time-lapse video that shows how the day unfolded. Additional pictures highlight the fun that the community had in making this possible.
