Summer Design-Build Institute at the Temple University Ambler Campus Arboretum
Representing the regrowth of the Ambler campus following the devastation of the tornado in 2020, our structure exhibits a helix shape that seemingly sprouts from the earth. This is an interactive installation in which the staff and students of the campus can compost their fruits and vegetables in order to fertilize the soil and promote plants to grow up the structure, both of which are food sources for the butterfly and caterpillars. This creates a safe environment for the butterflies to feed, mate, and travel through the tunnels created by the string, which will disorient their prey. A wood bending technique is used to create a dynamic structure which imitates the duality and lightness of a butterfly.
