Using stone in three thicknesses
and with three techniques, Kuma was able to achieve his desired
effect. Onyx is the stone of choice, most likely for its superior
powers of light transmittance, even at thicknesses that others
stones fail to admit light. A 4mm (1/8") thick piece
is sandwiched between glass, like a laminate. A 30mm (1")
is an onyx pattern printed onto glass. Lastly, A 75mm (3")
onyx is "transcribed
onto a 75 mm-thick PET film." Combined with the natural
imperfections of stone, these three variations create subtle
changes around the building. |
