A multi-disciplinary team of University of Central Florida students took a step toward bringing a class project to life when executives from OUC – The Reliable One, and Orlando City SC selected their design for a solar-powered art sculpture that will grace the entry of Orlando City Stadium, the home of Orlando City in Major League Soccer and Orlando Pride in the National Women’s Soccer League.
“Gyration” was one of three sculptures created in response to a challenge by project sponsor OUC to develop an aesthetically pleasing sculpture that doubles as a source of renewable energy. “Gyration” features a rendition of a soccer ball designed with intricate gold metal that casts unique, lattice-like shadows on the surrounding ground.
