About the Project
Carlyn was invited to collaborate on this project by Corgan Architects, working closely with their team to translate the Baylor Scott & White logo into a three-dimensional glass installation. Suspended at an angle 22 feet above the floor, the sculpture measures 11’ x 11’ x 11’ feet and is composed of 1,250 individual glass elements.
Engineer Kyle Heironimus carefully planned the installation both artistically and structurally. Each glass element was precisely fabricated by the studio team to follow the design while meeting the strict weight requirements of the ceiling structure.
Clear glass elements are spaced more openly, allowing light to pass through the sculpture and preserving visibility of the colored sections. The colored glass elements are placed closer together and precisely measured from the ceiling to form the recognizable Baylor Scott & White logo.
Perspective plays an essential role in the experience of the installation. From the front of the building and particularly from the second floor of the parking garage, the full logo appears clearly. As visitors approach from the street and enter the building, the logo gradually shifts, stretching into elongated bands of color that feel fluid in motion. Standing directly beneath the sculpture reveals the logo once again, while from other angles the work reads as an abstract composition in the Baylor Scott & White colors.
Precision and thoughtful engineering made this installation possible. The sculpture continually transforms as the viewer moves through the space, inviting exploration from every perspective.
