Glass
columns composed of plate glass with laminated beveled and dichroic
glass are located in the lobby and on both the first and second floors.
The columns are intended to add visual interest to the to the building
from both the interior and exterior. The general form and dimensions
of the columns are related to the structural glass fins of the glass
curtain wall. The semicircles of dichroic glass reference Monument
Circle, the area in which the building is located, as well as the
revolving door of the entry. The beveled glass, which is laminated
to the fins in overlapping patterns, fractures the imagery of passing
automobiles and pedestrians thereby creating a kinetic effect. It
is this sense of movement and pulsating energy that best symbolizes
within the piece the service of the power company. |
