““Whirled White Web”Whirled White Web”
The Design Component:
Find a shape that has some aesthetic qualities as an abstract sculpture.
The shape should (roughly) fit the given snow block dimensions: 10 10 12 feet tall.
The shape must be strong enough to hold up as a snow sculpture.
The sculpture has to be constructible by a team of five during a 4-day period.
Also need a good title and a good story…

Conclusions (1)Conclusions (1)
The computer plays an important rolealso for “Esthetic Engineering.”
Virtual Prototyping can save time and can tackle sculptures of a complexitythat manual techniques could not conquer.

The computer is not only a great visualization and prototyping tool,
It also is a generator for new ideas and
an amplifier for an artist’s inspiration.
