Houston will soon be home to a high-tech, clean-energy public artwork that will generate electricity for its neighborhood:
Houston Will Soon Be Home to a High-Tech, Clean-Energy Public Artwork That Will Generate Electricity for Its NeighborhoodJuly 12, 2023A new public artwork called the Arco del Tiempo, or Arch of Time, will generate clean energy for Texans still rebuilding from the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
The energy produced will first go to the Talento Bilingue de Houston, a bilingual English-Spanish theater in the East End near the Guadalupe Plaza Park where the public artwork will be placed. Ferry said the designers expect the giant sculpture to draw “considerable new development” to the edges of the park and believe it will have a net-positive energy production within five years. The sculpture is expected to remain at the site for at least 25 years.
Mariano said that the arch’s shape is informed by its function, taking the path of the sun across the Texas sky to increase its electricity-generating efficiency. The architect tested the sundial function using a smaller scale model that Ferry described as “art in [and] of itself.”
