The project marks the opening of the first section of the Eco-Commons, a project consisting of 80 acres of preserved greenspace on Georgia Tech’s campus. Volunteers traveled down to Serenbe in Chattahoochee Hills to gather the wood and saplings early this month, and construction on the installation began Jan. 7.  The building process will continue through Jan. 22, and the installation will remain on display until it eventually disintegrates.
