The solarium is no longer at Storm King, but I'd still love to visit this summer. Have you been?

Sugar Solarium.
Constructed using 162 window panels made purely of cooked sugar, William Lamson's Solarium, formerly at Storm King Art Center, was a greenhouse of sorts inspired by isolated, nature-ensconced sanctuaries - "like a mountain chapel or Thoreau's one-room cabin," says the artist. In addition, he continues, "the design references the architecture of a plant leaf." Sweet.
That is lovely! I love the light coming through the glass!

ReplyDeletethis is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteAngela, I might make some for my new apartment. Thoughts? :)
ReplyDeleteThe power of creativeness. You can achieve anything. This is an amazing achievement. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful!! I love it! You should totally make some for your new apartment!
ReplyDeleteWow! I want to go to there (wherever the solarium is now and Storm King!).
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Storm King but have never been able to - I have been to OMI which is a little farther up north from Storm King and it was really wonderful! OMI should definitely be on your must-see list (:
ReplyDeleteThis must be the most beautiful greenhouse around! And who knew sugar was so versatile? It also makes me dream of studio spaces...! If you end up using this idea for your apartment, please show us the result - it would look so dreamy!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, I wonder how it held up in it's environment, if it attracted animals or small children :P
ReplyDeleteI. want. to. go. to. there.
ReplyDeleteThat looks magical!
wow, amazing!!
ReplyDeleteSaw it in the fall and it was incredible in the sunset. Although the bees were going crazy and getting stuck to the sugary panes! Storm King is fantastic.
