Opportunity Window at the 2007 HCEE Annual DinnerMay 8, 2007 at the Kahala Resort, Honolulu - The Opportunity Window was a collaborative art event that highlighted the economic theme of dinner. which honored the television series LOST for its positive economic impact in Hawaii. Each attendee was given a piece of the Opportunity Window and allowed to contribute it to the collaborative piece which evolved like a stained glass window in the front area of the banquet hall. Here's a photo of the window:
The window design is a radial tesselation, a rare configuration of interlocking shapes which radiate outward with no gaps between them, without changing their size or dimensions. Here is the original design:
Each piece of the Opportunity Window is an adaptation of a polydiamond which is one of the few shapes capable of remaining interlocked with their peers while radiating outward. I found that I could split the length of each side into opposing curves and still retain the radial characteristic. Here is the final template that was used to create all 300 pieces:
In addition to designing the Opportunity Window activity, I designed and crafted an award featuring a miniature of the Opportunity Window. The award presented to the executive producers of LOST.
