Vidre-Slide provides clear example of cutting-edge glass
The Vidre-Slide comprises just two half-cylindrical sections bonded together with structural silicone. Not only does it demonstrate cutting-edge glass technology, but the result is a striking work of art.
The 4-m (13-ft) tall Vidre-Slide is the latest in a number of recent glass slides that have been produced, including one installed on the side of the US Bank Tower in Los Angeles. It was created by British engineers Eckersley O'Callaghan in partnership with fabricator Cricursa. The two firms have been working together for some time with the aim of producing long, laterally curved sections of glass with tight radii.
Indeed, it is the tight 450-mm (17.7-in) radii of the sections, coupled with their lengths, that are said to have pushed the boundaries of glass-working.
