Field of Air, DEN Plaza Art Instillation

This large, wind-activated sculpture is located at the Denver International Airport level 5 plaza, adjacent to the entrance to the airport’s main hotel. The kinetic piece was inspired by the way the grasses of the plains expose the invisible force of the wind. The sculpture features thousands of brushed aluminum, hinged stalks extended from a foundation grid. Martin/Martin provided engineering analysis and design for the kinetic flaps and support system.
