This abstract sculpture is made of bronze beams and slatted panels.
From the Smithsonian AIC Remarks:
Originally, the sculpture was installed indoors, in the lobby of the Conference Center adjacent to the Hult Center for the Performing Arts and Hilton Hotel. Seven years later, the sculpture seemed cramped in the lobby location, and the decision was made to move the sculpture outdoors into a pedestrian plaza. The artist was very pleased, and constructed a piece to add to the bottom of shaft, making the sculpture the size that he had initially envisioned when he designed it.
