New Exhibit- Building Boom with KEVA ® planks (Knowledge-Exploration-Visual Arts)

Friday, September 21, 2012 – Sunday, January 6, 2013

Get ready to explore the simple and complex possibilities of construction as you move from the drawing board to the construction crew. Building Boom with KEVA encourages you to conceive, and then build the design project of your dreams -- bridges, skyscrapers, castles, airplanes, trestles, spirals and more.   You’ll develop a first-hand understanding of the physical forces at work in the design process as you apply principles of balance, proportion and geometry to your design. 

Building Boom with KEVA® planks brings out the designer, architect and engineer in each of us as you problem solve and think in three dimension.  Uniform in size, KEVA planks use only gravity – no glue or connectors.  You'll dabble with physics to achieve equilibrium and stability.  Stumped for a design project?  Draw inspiration from 50 permanent building models on display.

Local exhibit support for Building Boom with KEVA ® planks is provided by Astoria Federal Savings.

All ages. Free with museum admission.
