Tomorrow, October 29, marks 30 years since the installation of the original AISC Steel Sculpture -- a teaching sculpture made up of various steel members and connections -- on the University of Florida’s campus. Today, modified versions of the sculpture can be found on more than 170 college and university campuses across the country and around the world.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the AISC Steel Sculpture, our October trivia question is:
Who created the original AISC Steel Sculpture?
Answer:
The original AISC Steel Sculpture was created by Duane Ellifritt, Ph.D., P.E., professor emeritus of civil engineering at the University of Florida. To learn more about Ellifritt, see the article “Creating Art in Unlikely Places” from our October 2011 issue.
