Glass
is a superb medium for achieving ‘public
art’. Creating public art in the glazing
of a building, be it cladding or actual glazing, is very
economical. The glass is part of the existing budget,
as are the frames; and the installation also. It only
remains to do something to the glass, and with the ever
advancing technology we have available this is becoming
less and less costly.
For architects, working with facades, allows them control
of the visual texture of the building. The art will become
genuinely part of the architecture rather than something
nailed or bolted onto the scheme at some later point.
Public Art can be a way of achieving goals for both planners
and clients. Public Art can assist in creating identity
and branding for buildings, making them easier to market
and adding to the urban landscape in a potent and exciting
way. Andrew Moor Associates offer advice and assistance
in developing designs and budgets for creating public
art. We work with architects to ensure the result adds
something that enhances the building and seemlessly integrates
into the architecture.
