Archipelago

A configuration of fifteen elements, radiating in the water-filled patio enclosed by the facades of the School for Economy and Management in Utrecht (Architects: Mecanoo, Delft). The elements together with their reflections, fragment the mirror images of the architectural lines mirrored in the water. This interplay between objects and their reflections was inspired by the reflections of the St Isaacs Cathedral in St Petersburg, fragmented continually by ice floes in the river Neva.
