A Beauty in Disguise
This 9,284 square foot piece of public art is standing on the west side of the convention center in Raleigh, NC. Behind this spectacular view is a blanket of air conditioning and mechanical systems of the entire building. Its walls are made of dark and light aluminum squares forming a huge oak tree in honor of Raleigh “the city of oaks”, LEDs were used as backlight of this wall. The aluminum squares swing as the wind blows and act like leaves in the wind which causes a shimmering effect.
Cree Shimmer wall’s fantastic view can be seen by thousands of by passers in the area. The entire view can be fully witnessed across the street and many areas throughout the downtown. Its colors are even livelier at night as LEDs were lit up revealing even more of its stunning beauty. View this work of art from the hill on Dorothea Dix property for a romantic and intimate spot with your loved one.
