AZTEC PAVILION

by: Poetic Kinetics

The Aztec Pavilion is a permanent installation commissioned by the City of El Paso, Texas with the assistance of a federal Renewable Energy Demonstration grant. The sculpture is composed entirely of CorTen steel and features ceiling rings intricately cut to form a copy of the Aztec Calendar.  9 solar panels collect energy to power AC outlets & lighting, returning unused power to the city grid.  Educational signage near the structure provides an introduction to solar technology and a detailed description of how the pavilion works.
