The proposal for the Doraville Glass Art and Community Center creates a literal and metaphorical new center for the community functioning as a new public garden and a unique three-dimensional lenses to capture light and celebrate the program of glass art. The organizational parti is derived by the spatial relation of horizontal and oblique zones and their resolution in variants of the helix form. The project seeks to create a unique experience through an ascending and descending movement within a constantly changing volume completely immersed in light. The embrace of natural light furthers the dynamic qualities of the project whereas daily and seasonal changing moods are captured and expressed through the facade and structure and onto the space within. This further enables the freedom of expression whether it is through the actual making of glass for specific lighting conditions or the design of gallery displays.
