The design concept envisioned the expansive atrium as the location for some kind of large and impressive suspended art installation. After reviewing the finishes, themes, concepts, and university history with Wilson Butler, LYNNEL conceived a dynamic and thoughtful installation with our Summer Icicles. The acrylic icicles were chosen as they allow for light to reflect and refract nicely in the space, helping make a vibrant, dynamic statement.
With a thorough understanding of the angular skylight and location of the mullions, LYNNEL plotted out a map that would enable the icicles to hang at various heights below the skylight, forming a compelling arrangement as seen from anywhere in the space. The icicle lengths ranged from 4ft to 8 ft.
