With the opening of the Pearl Avenue Branch Library in
San Jose, California, in August 2008, the City became
the first municipality in the United States to install
permanent public art that combines photovoltaic (PV)
cells and art glass in an architectural application.

cells that in turn power a suspended glass
LED-illuminated lamp.

Kimiake
and Shin-ichi Higuchi

glass sculpture that involves four-part molds, some with
hanging cores. In this conversation with "Glass Art"
magazine, the Higuchis discuss their initial
experimentations in glass and the culmination of their
aesthetic and technical goals into a body of
historically and artistically important works.
