Integration of expressive glass with architecture
City of Dreams, Manilla, Philippines
The sculpture is located at the main entrance of the Project Leisure casino at City of Dreams hotel and entertainment complex. The design concept was a waterfall with sirens/mermaids spiraling throughout. The 120 cast/bent glass panels. which are approximately 9’ long and 1/2” thick, have dimensional images of the sirens/mermaids cast into the glass. The sculpture is illuminated with a programmed LED lighting system that animates the work with pulsating colored lights creating the effect of cascading water.
