(in collaboration with Hyunch Sung)
Galego Court Housing Project
Pawtucket RI
Our proposal is an interactive rainwater catchment system that creates rainbows with mist and fog. On the green vacant lawn that is adjacent to the entrance to the urban farm in the housing project, this kinetic weather sculpture will be both phenomenological wonder and science experiment for the residents of the housing project, speci cally the many children in this family oriented development. The rainwater catchment system will become kinetic when children activate it via a rotating playground wheel. When children play on the wheel, it generates energy to pump rainwater to garden beds where mist nozzles transform the water to a gaseous state that can refract sunlight to create rainbows.
