這是Skylar Tibbits為麻省理工（MIT）150周年校慶和FAST藝術(shù)節(jié)所作的作品：VoltaDom。安裝在校內(nèi)55樓，56樓之間的走廊上。玻璃與混凝土組成數(shù)以百計拱肋結(jié)構(gòu)物，這拱形天花板就像歷史悠久的教堂。材料的厚度不一致，光能不同程度的穿透其，并反映在對周圍環(huán)境的影響上。
VoltaDom試圖拓展建筑概念“surface panel”的定義，通過強(qiáng)化雙曲拱頂面的深度（極限），并保持相對容易的制造及組裝。這也歸功于將復(fù)雜表面由其它許多簡單的面組合而成。

VoltaDom, by Skylar Tibbits- for MIT's 150th Anniversary Celebration & FAST Arts Festival (Festival of Arts, Science and

Technology) - an installation that populates the corridor spanning building 56 & 66 on MIT's campus.  This installation

lines the concrete and glass hallway with hundreds of vaults, reminiscent of the great vaulted ceilings of historic cathedrals. 

The vaults provide a thickened surface articulation and a spectrum of oculi that penetrate the hallway and surrounding area

with views and light.  VoltaDom attempts to expand the notion of the architectural "surface panel," by intensifying the depth

of a doubly-curved vaulted surface, while maintaining relative ease in assembly and fabrication.  This is made possible by

transforming complex curved vaults to developable strips, one that likens the assembly to that of simply rolling a strip of

material.
