SOM engineers collaborated with artist Janet Echelman on her new art piece “Earthtime 1.26 Munich” at Odeonsplatz in Munich. The sculpture is part of the artist’s global “Earthtime” series and is composed entirely of hollow braid synthetic fiber ropes, with 1,380 feet of rope and 91 spliced connections anchored to the four supporting structures with metal hardware. The installation is now on view in the historic Odeonsplatz square until early October 2021.
