Overview
The design and fabrication of art glass sail and water elements for three shade structures. The glass design is symbolic of activities on the lake and the sights of living in Geneva. Capturing the glistening and transformative qualities of water in glass, we will use color to create a dynamic sense place season to season while serving as a landmark beacon.
