Jetson
Step into the future with the Jetson project, an innovative installation housed within the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Suspended within the Tennenbaum Atrium, this design gracefully hovers above the main entrance lobby, capturing attention and sparking intrigue. Jetson’s futuristic appearance is a nod to innovation and technology, leaving a lasting impression on observers. Crafted with precision, the installation is constructed from hundreds of distinct anodized and painted aluminum shapes, drawing inspiration from the structural elegance of a monocoque airplane. Immerse yourself in the cutting-edge aesthetics of Jetson, where art and technology seamlessly converge at the heart of Georgia Tech.
