The "Mirador" is a tower with a viewing platform. It consists of struts fabricated from 1" EMT, arranged in a double-helix pattern through ever-decreasing hexagonal hoops. Also featured is the "Giant Tripod," used for shooting panorama photos over trees on site. Both are modular, demountable and portable.

James Horecka
James Horecka is a licensed architect practicing in Winchester, California. He also holds a contractor's license (22 years). A "Maker" since childhood, he has created many odd works, including (among other things) several small paddle-wheel boats (one gas powered), and the popular "Puppy Mover Monorail." James prefers art that includes experiences in both space and time: Kinetic art that itself moves (mechanized), and/or larger constructions that one may move through or upon. James exhibited the "Puppy Mover Monorail" at the 2007 & 2009 Maker Faires. For the 2008 Maker Faire, he exibited a scratch-built 32' high Mega-Tripod and 25' high EMT Mirador. Most of all, he enjoys the "process" of Making.
