LERA Plus created a custom plugin for Rhino that automated this process, saving the artist time to devote to the larger, more complicated elements of the installation.
The sculpture is composed of several LED lights and metal rods. With LERA Plus's custom plugin for Rhino, the artist was able to define each connection, assign which sections would hold LED lights and which would plainly be steel rods, and run the plugin to automate the design of the connections.
Alyson Shotz's monumental work spans four stories of the Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion, on NYU Langone Health's main campus. Comprised of welded aluminum and dichroic acrylic, The Moon's Eyelid is Shotz's first major commission in New York City.
LERA Plus provided value engineering services to optimize the sculpture’s structure and placement after preliminary designs revealed excessive deflections.
