Description: 

Three permanent installations refer to the activities of the center. The first component to be installed is FUNhouse: cast aluminum soccerballs, volleyballs and basketballs are imbedded into a concrete wall. Their mirror-like finish evokes the reflective surfaces found in a funhouse. The balls form the braille word for ’fun’.
