Glass for Airport Bridges Location & Year: Houston, TX - 2005 Elkins was teamed with a painter for this civic art installation to identify a project for four pedestrian bridges in Houston’s new international terminal. The collaboration resulted in the design of glazing panels that were inserted into the window walls of the bridges. The glass panels, which had prescribed environmental demands, were etched and treated with additional dollops of glass that reflect and refract light very subtly. These panels also shield unattractive views from the pedestrian while allowing natural light into the space.
