Artistic heritage enshrined in modernity
Swire Properties, façade developer Permasteelisa, Asian art photographer Frank Fischbeck and laminated glass supplier
Digiglass /Accotrade of Hong Kong have demonstrated how Asia's artistic heritage can be enshrined in modernity by using SentryGlas Expressions decorative laminated glass technology.
The team used the SentryGlas Expressions decorative laminated glass technology to create a larger-than-life, luminous photographic wall featuring giant Buddhas for the lobby of Three Pacific Place, Grade A offices situated in the downtown business hub of Hong Kong.
The 18 m x 12 m (59 ft x 39.5 ft) photographic wall, situated just adjacent to the lobby's main escalator, pays homage to a paragon of Asian historic architectural achievement namely the Mrauk U citadel, situated on Myanmar's (Burma's) remote western Arak coast.
Among Mrauk U's treasures is the Ka Thaung temple, whose arched corridors are lined with giant-sized, contemplative Buddhas. It is this series of contemplative Buddhas, sentinels that seem at once to welcome visitors to the temple and also guard it, that Fischbeck selected for the photographic wall of SentryGlas Expressions.
