Skins of water that veneer two fields of black granite
lie flush
with
the surrounding dry pedestrian areas.
There is no physical barrier
between the water
expression and its surroundings. This allows it
to
interrelate with and engage the interior space of
the Crossroads
Atrium
elevator lobby in the
City of Commerce, near Los Angeles,
California.
Visually
joining the two water skins are a series of
steady state
Laminar Streams.
Apparently motionless,
and with no splash or
sound, the parabolic water
arches
span from one water plane to
the other resulting in a
delicate and
crystalline water sculpture
that reflects
the ambient light and seamlessly
rests within
the
center of the space.
