Choose one sculptural focus.
At Palm Court in Miami’s Design District, Buckminster Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome is lit from inside and sits in a pool kept dark on purpose, so that it reflects.
From the project
The whole dome is haloed by low-level light that reinforces its plinth, and the palms are softly uplit from recessed fittings set into the paving1. On the glass building behind, the studio fritted some of the blue glass fins so that narrow beams could skim along them and make the facade shimmer1.
