A digital visionary, Ross uses methods old and new to produce exceptionally beautiful and radically redesigned conceptions of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2009, Ross was commissioned in collaboration with the fine art manufacturers at Franz Mayer of Munich to create a monumental public art project for the US Federal Courthouse in Austin, Texas. The culmination of this collaboration is a colorful twenty-eight-foot-square stained glass wall with built-in hydraulic doors opening into a large event space. This book documents the long process, which brought together architects, engineers, craftsmen, and government officials and combined centuries-old construction techniques with twenty-first-century digital technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith one hundred full-color illustrations from all phases of the wall’s design and construction, ranging from photographs to pencil sketches and computer renderings, this book charts the creation of a modern monument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035417854192,"sku":"9783777453019","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783777453019_p0.jpg?v=1763683923","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783777453019","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
