i am just floored by how beautiful this installation is- "maximilian’s schell" by architects benjamin ball and gaston nogues at materials & applications is a new vortex-shaped, outdoor installation in Los Angeles that, "warps the flow of space with a featherweight rendition of a celestial black hole". the installation is the size of an apartment building and is a spectacle that has been stopping traffic along silver lake boulevard since its unveiling two weeks ago. constructed in tinted mylar resembling stained glass, the vortex functions as a shade structure, swirling above the outdoor gallery through november 26, 2005. for more information, see here. gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Thanks for posting this installation! I was in LA last week and had to make a stop there. It was truly amazing. The pictures you posted were visually enticing but being in the space of the actual installation was spectacular. It also kept you really cool when you were inside the space (considering the heat in LA).

Thanks again for posting...and if anyone is in the area, this is an attraction that shouldn't be missed!
