Intersecting Plans:
the five planes are to be of
different thicknesses, with one plane each at: 1", one inch thick, 6",
six inches thick, 12" twelve inches thick, 18" eighteen inches thick,
24" twenty-four inches thick.
each plane is to be a minimum of six feet (6') in short dimension, and a maximum of twelve feet (12') in long dimension.
each plane is required to
intersect at least two other planes. planes can only intersect at
angles of 90, 30, or 15 degrees, but each plane must continue through
the plane it intersects by a minimum of one foot (1'-0").
each of the planes is to have a
minimum of one (1) and a maximum of three (3) openings in it. each
opening may not be larger than six hundred (600) square inches.
these planes, planar elements,
can be made of any material that you find interesting and appropriate
for their function. the planes may be of any 'shape', and may be
oriented horizontal, vertical, or off axis.
Three Lines:
There are to be three linear elements, 'lines', included in the design of this piece.
one linear element is to be one inch (1" ) in diameter, and a minimum of four feet (4') long.
one linear element is to be six inches (6") in diameter and a minimum of six feet (6') long.
one linear element is to be eighteen inches (12") in diameter and a minimum of eight feet (8') long.
these linear elements can be made of any material you find interesting and appropriate for their function.

For my planes I used glass, connected together by spiders, and the linear elements are cylinders in the middle of the glass planes.
