The NCECA exhibit, "Weather or Not," that was the subject of our March 25 post has now been exposed to the elements for five full days. Today, the "elements" included 40-knot winds and heavy rain showers. Elliott Bay weather earlier in the week was a challenge as well. Today, we walked over to Pier 62/63 to see how the various works stood up to the elements.
The first thing we noticed is that the bright yellow WaterfrontSeattle chairs placed on the pier for the exhibit were strewn everywhere. Someone was nice enough to set them upright early this morning. By this afternoon, none were standing.
Moreover, the carefully assembled Tinker Toy-like structure pictured last Sunday . . .
. . . now looked like this.
We hope the designer doesn't have a role in structural engineering for the SR520 bridge replacement across Lake Washington.
The Seattle Viaduct model fared somewhat better. Here's before . . .
And here's after . . .
The project superintendent seems unaffected by the elements.
