Tree of life
- type of work
- environmental
Gensler commissioned us to create art and graphics for the new science building at Bellaire High School. The top floor has a long set of windows over classroom gardens. Covering the a length of 125′ we recreated the “Tree of Life” or Darwin’s Phylogenetic Tree tracing the origins of life to present day organisms and homo sapiens. Walking down the hallway, students can chart millions of years back in evolutionary time.
