| Title | Crown Fountain, testing in Melbourne, Florida, May 20, 2003 |
| Description | Close-up view of a glass brick panel mock-up at the headquarters of Circle Redmont Inc. in Melbourne, Florida. The bricks were adhered to their steel frame with mortar and silicone, which served the dual purpose of disguising the steel frame while waterproofing the bricks. Stippled glass was used on the sides and back walls of Crown Fountain's towers in order to obscure the view of the interior structure and to better refract the light when the towers are lit from within at night. |
