Landmarks: C-010106
This before long-to-be-unveiled portion of UT’s ongoing Landmarks application is a pair of types that reduce by the Peyton Yates Family members Bridge at the Cockrell School of Engineering to generate sudden social exchanges. Composed of 4 sheets of glass (two reflective diagonal and two apparent vertical) Sarah Oppenheimer’s C-010106 results in a kind of periscope result that offers sights higher than and under the bridge.
