About

Greg Lynn “Schiara” lantern , fiberglass reinforced composite

“Architect Greg Lynn of Greg Lynn Form (Venice, Calif.) and Kreysler & Assoc. (American Canyon, Calif.), a specialist in architectural composites and large-scale sculpture, have collaborated to develop lightweight, translucent and energy-efficient composite building elements and systems using digital design and fabrication tools. One result of this collective enterprise is the Schiara Lantern, a 5-ft/1.54m diameter, volumetric lantern that Lynn exhibited during the “Generative Fabrication” session at SIGGRAPH 2009, the 36th International Conference and Exhibition devoted to computer graphics and interactive techniques (August 2009 in New Orleans, La.)”. http://www.compositesworld.com
