Tecotosh, Steel and glass sculpture at Portland State University, US
Tecotosh combines stainless steel trusses, cables, hardware, and laminated dichroic glass with integrated lights outside the Maseeh College of Engineering.
The Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and Technology commissioned this outdoor sculpture, which was installed during 2005-2006 at Southwest 4th and College.
The name Tecotosh forms an acronym representing four engineering principles: tension, compression, torsion, and shear, connecting art with technical education.
Located at the entrance of the Computer Science building, this sculpture provides students and visitors with a visual representation of fundamental engineering concepts.
The dichroic glass elements of the sculpture create different visual effects depending on the surrounding light conditions and viewing angles.
