When I was in middle school, I took two glass art classes (one for fused glass and one for stained glass), and ever since then I’ve wanted to do more glass stuff, but I’ve never seemed to have the time. (Which is a real bummer since the Pittsburgh Glass Center offers some really cool classes!) But those classes got me to be very excited about glass art and the degree of work that goes into it. This is a really awesome project especially with the way that it interacts with the urban environment, people passing through it, and the light from the skylight. It’s also so awesome to read about the parametric algorithms used for the sculpture. I sometimes feel so frustrated reading about Fusion’s capabilities these days when Vectorworks still doesn’t let you select what edge you want your sweep to be centered on or even have a functional constraint system.
