Channel glass: cool, practical, and...

A channel glass installation is subject to the creative interpretation of architects and designers within the constraints of the material and building codes; like other materials, it is what you make of it. A wide variety of images depending on the lighting, both natural and artificial are possible through the use of glass, in general, and channel glass, in particular, whether installed on the interior or exterior of a building. Unlike brick or stone, the translucency of glass has been shown to produce positive desired effects on student test scores and patient recovery - so the installation can be practical as well as cool. The largest Bendheim Wall Systems LINIT channel glass project in the USA, with over 100,000 square feet of custom glass, is at the Steven Holl-designed Bloch Building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, MO. If you have questions about the LINIT channel glass seen at the Shaw Center for the Arts (LSU), Pratt Institute, Sarah Lawrence College designed by Polshek Partnership, Minneapolis Central Library designed by Cesar Pelli or Boston's Institute for Contemporary Art designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, call me, Marc Fink, at 800.221.7379 X223.
