Flaming Bloom
Flaming Bloom is an art gazebo placed in a public park in Guangzhou. The structure takes the shape of a large flower and shields pedestrians from strong sunlight. Rising five meters high, the flower forms a gate that visitors can walk through. The dome is built from twisted stainless steel units developed for the project. One face of each unit is a mirror surface and the other face is painted red. The curved mirrors reflect the surrounding scenery, so the reflected images change as visitors move around and through the gazebo.

The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award is a highly prestigious international design award which rewards superior design of sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, mixed media works, ceramics, art objects, craftworks and more.
