Client: Levine Children's Hospital

Overview

For the 6 story, curtain-walled lobby of the new, state of the art Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, artist Donald Lipski created a tubular stainless steel structure that holds a stainless steel net filled with over 10,000 glass chandelier crystals of various shapes and colors. The south facing curtain wall allows ample sunlight into the space which creates a beautiful array of reflected color throughout the lobby space. The work measures 50′ x 60′ x 8′.

Goals

The challenge was to make something that would be dramatic and transformative, and appeal to both very young children and teens as old as 18.
