Awunakuphuthelwa. Uma ushayela eDowntown City Tacoma ngo-I-705, iBridge of Glass ihamba ngqo ngaphesheya komgwaqo. Emini, imibhoshongo emibili ye-crystalline eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka iyaqhakaza elangeni (uma kukhona ilanga ... lena yi-Washington ngemuva kwakho konke). Ngobusuku, isakhiwo sonke sivuliwe. Kuyinto yokubona, kodwa kungcono ukuvuka kusondele futhi uhambisane nesakhiwo ngezinyawo.
Ibhuloho ye-Glass ye-Tacoma ingenye yezinto eziyingqayizivele kakhulu ongayibona esifundeni seSouth Sound.
Ukuze abalandeli be-glass art nabalandeli bakaDale Chihuly ikakhulukazi, ibhuloho ingahle ibe yinto ephawulekayo kuwo wonke amaWestern Washington. Ayikho ibhuloho evamile, iBridge of Glass ibhuloho elihamba ngezinyawo elihlanganisa idolobha laseTacoma eliya eThea Foss Waterway. Konke kulo lonke ibhuloho kukhona imisebenzi yobuciko ngumculi wesilazi uDale Chihuly. Iyaziwa kakhulu ngezinhlobonhlobo zayo ezimbili ezinemibala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kodwa kukhona okunye okuningi okukubona kunemibhoshongo. Ibhuloho isebenza ngokuyisisekelo njengamabonakude odweba ovulekile ... futhi ekhululekile, lapho!
Umculi we-Glass U-Chihuly wakhulela eTacoma futhi usenamandla okuhlala edolobheni.

Umsebenzi weBridge
Ngaphandle kweBhuloho, kuneziboniso eziningi ezihlukahlukene zokudweba. Isiboniso sokuqala ozosibona (esivela e-Pacific Avenue) yi- Seaform Pavilion -indawo yokugcoba ingilazi igcwele amabheyi angu-2,364 nezingcezu zeglasi. Lezi zingcezu zivela ezinhlobonhlobo ezahlukene (ezibizwa ngokuthi uchungechunge) weglasi Chihuly yenza. Izindonga zale ndawo zenziwe mnyama ukuze ubheke phezulu uphinde uzibonele ngokugcwele izicucu zeglasi. Lena indawo enhle ye-selfie ehlukile.
Ukubonisa okuvelele kakhulu lapha kukhona imibhoshongo emibili ye-blue ebizwa nge- Crystal Towers . Lezi akuzona izingcezu zeglasi, kepha kunalokho uhlobo lwepulasitiki elibizwa ngePolvitro.
Izingcezu ziyize futhi zikhona izingqikithi ezingu-63 zomuntu ngamunye embhoshongweni ngamunye. Lezi ziyamangalisa ngokukhethekile ezinsukwini ezicacile, ezinelanga.
Ukuboniswa kokugcina eceleni kwebhuloho kubizwa ngokuthi i- Venetian Wall futhi lokhu kufaka izicucu ezingu-109 yi-Chihuly ezibizwa ngokuthi amaVentians-ama-vases agcwele ama-glass. Izinto ezihlotshaniswayo ezinjengezinkinobho eziguguzelayo, izidalwa zasolwandle, amakherubi nezimbali zihlobisa ama-vases futhi azikho ezimbili ezifanayo. Lokhu kuyindawo enhle ukuthatha isikhathi sakho futhi ubheke ngempela ingilazi isondelene njengoba iningi lalezi zicucu ziyinkimbinkimbi ngempela. Uzobona zonke izinhlobo zemininingwane encane eyenza izithombe ezinhle ze- Instagram .
I-Bridge Design
Ibhuloho lingamamitha amahlanu ubude futhi yaqedwa ngo-2002 njengesipho emzini. Yakhiwe ngumdwebi wase-Austin-based u-Arthur Andersson ngokubambisana eduze neChihuly.
Futhi u-Andersson wakha i-Museum State History Museum.
