Polyhedron
In and Outdoor, large Dichroic Glass and Metal,
Light and Water sculpture
for public
fountains and reflective pools.
Polyhedron is a kinetic
chrome steel and tempered dichroic glass sculpture.
It consists of
a complex, twisted geometric shape with no vertical walls, which is entirely
made out of a specially coated dichoic glass. This special glass very subtly
reflects light with yellow-magenta-blue-cyan tint, depending on the
viewing angle (please see below). It makes for a shimmering, and intriguing
light effect, both day and night!
Water emerges from the top of the Polyhedron. The
Water Flow can be varied from
a solid water fountain effect, shooting upward, to just gently
flowing down the 4 inclined sides towards the reflective pool.
This again is a SEE THROUGH type of large water sculpture and
fountain, which does not obscure the vista behind it, and which offers the
viewers many different aspect views as they move around the sculpture.
Polyhedron can be fabricated out of
dichroic glass or normal, tempered glass, which can be clear or tinted, or
solidly fabricated out of chrome steel or any other suitable
materials, which then can also be painted in any color with long-lasting
metallic automotive paint, to match the finishes of its surrounding.
In the glass version the glass panes are encased by a chrome or stainless
steel very thin, but strong support frame. It can be custom sized from
4ft all the way to 24ft to match
the space and reflective pool or fountain proportions.
It can consist of one or multiple, stacked Polyhedrons, please see
below.
With the use of RGB LEDs it is possible to program
subtle color shifts and gradations throughout the sculpture which will
reflect back to the surrounding building walls from the reflective pond, in
essence creating LIGHT and WATER sculpture.

Here seen on approach from the end of a reflective pool - you
are greeted by the soft multicolor reflections of the glass sculpture
and its reflections in the water, as water runs down the four
inclined glass sides.

is the water and
the resulting gentle flow down the 4 inclined contours. Click on

Here you see some examples of the color
spectrum dichroic glass is available. On the right you can even see some
of the subtle color shifts, even though it is just a photo without
changing of the viewing angle
