The etched mirror design is complementary, but quite different from that of the stained glass. Architectural Stained Glass hired an independent lighting consultant to design the two separately switched and rheostatically controlled fluorescent light arrays above. Conclusion Stained glass windows have been an integral part of worship spaces for centuries. For much of that time the options for the inclusion of stained glass were limited by the architecture to formalized window openings. Although such use of stained glass can still be gloriously effective, other possibilities for using stained glass to enrich places of worship can and should be considered.
Stained glass is a much more versatile medium than most people realize.
Each potential architectural setting has its own unique needs and oppurtunites. As in all aspects of the decision making process that precedes and accompanies the building of a worship space, planning for stained glass can be more responsive when all options can be considered. Some options inevitably go unnoticed. It is regrettable how often building committees and design professionals have missed an opportunity to include wanted stained glass in a challenging architectural situation simply because they hadn't been aware of an option such as Windowless Stained Glass. Stained Glass is a unique and inspirational medium.
