With M O T H E R S H i P , the architecture of the building informed the designs for both the entry glass, and the interior dividers. Angular concrete and exposed steel I-beam construction of this unique building created many rectilinear shapes which seemed appropriate to counter with curves and circles.

Although the medium of glass suggests an antithesis to the robust industrial elements, the sculptural carving within the material aims to create harmonious counterpoints to the boldness of the architecture.
