In the Flow Georgia Aquarium Partition Wall

Nominee
"In the Flow" is an art glass wall made with ‘strata', one of Meltdown Glass' 32 standard textures. It is part of the Event / Banquet room of the Georgia Aquarium, installed in a movable partition wall system which divides the room when needed for smaller events. The eight - 10 ft. high art glass panels wall span 48 feet.8 panels of strata, ½” tempered panels in an interior partition mobile track system divides banquet area. The ‘strata' texture captures the feeling of water without maintenance issues. The art wall gives a feeling of serenity to the room and is in keeping with the underwater theme of the Aquarium interior. In kiln-worked glass, the glass is molded, colored and shaped in Meltdown's large industrial kilns at temperatures up to 1600 F. Artwork can be fired multiple times until the desired effect is achieved. Molds are one-off handmade molds, destroyed after firing. Positive texture molds were made, and from them original negative molds were created for each panel. Cast glass can be tempered, laminated or installed in fire-rated safety-glass wall systems. It lends itself equally to being integrated into architecture or added as desired to an existing facility or home. Meltdown Glass, under the artistic direction of artist BJ Katz, is dedicated to expanding the frontier of kiln-cast glass in architectural and sculptural applications.
