Design, Engineering and Construction of glass and otherwise swinging structures
The Glass Swing is an attempt to bridge the disparity between the fields of Glass Art and Architectural Glass. Little synergy exists between these two fields: Glass art is sculptural, curvaceous, and spectacular. Architectural glass is predominantly plain, flat, and almost invisible. The design attempts to bring together the two fields to create architectural structures that possess the qualities of glass art; addressing form, light, playfulness, elegance, and function. The Glass Swing aims to utilize the aesthetic potential of glass while at the same time creating a strong, safe, and functional object.
The Glass Swing has been developed in cooperation with Lennert van der Linden, Schott, Ramlab
