Louisville
Arena Pedway by
Architectural
Glass Art
This week we are proud to feature the newly-unveiled, eye-catching Louisville Arena Pedway designed by the talented Kenneth F. von Roenn, Jr., President and Lead Designer of Architectural Glass Art Inc. (AGA)
Data below was excerpted from an AGA Oct. 25, 2010 announcement.
 View more pictures of the Arena Pedway in our Facebook album.
Fabrication:
The pedway is illuminated internally with LED lights at the base of each truss, which are activated by the movement of pedestrians. The exterior sides of the pedway are rolled perforated metal panels with LED lights behind that are programmed for continuous movement of colors with special effects during events at the arena.
"The pedway was designed as a synthesis of art,
architecture and engineering to the degree that
the architecture IS the art
and the art IS the architecture."
- Kenneth F. von Roenn, Jr.
President & Lead Designer, AGA
The structural trusses are visually prominent because of the dichroic glass films within the inner layer of the lamination. These films cast one color and reflect the complementary color when illuminated creating a dynamic appearance.
 Location:
The structure can be found right on Main Street, in the heart of downtown Louisville, KY. It connects the existing Galt House Hotel & Suites and the new KFC Yum! Center.
Specs:
The all-glass structure is composed of one-inch thick laminated glass for the walls and roof, which are supported by laminated glass trusses with dichroic and holographic films, which change colors when viewed from different perspectives and when illuminated from different directions. The glass trusses are secured to the glass walls and roof with stainless steel hardware and structural silicone.
The structure is unique in several ways. First, the glass trusses are secured to the steel beams that span the street by stainless steel pin connections, which allow for the movement of the bridge as well as for the movement of the glass. Second, the vertical and diagonal components of the trusses are joined by means of one-inch thick laminated glass gusset plates. The bolts connecting the gusset plates and the truss elements are isolated so there is no bearing of the glass on any of the stainless steel bolts.
Players Involved:
The trusses were preassembled in the studio and lifted as units onto the structural steel beams after which the glass walls and roof were installed with stainless steel hardware fittings and sealed with structural silicone. Glasswerks Inc. produced the glass walls and roof and Grove Glass in Garden Grove, CA fabricated the glass trusses. The dichroic/holographic film was produced at Architectural Glass Art, which also assembled the trusses. Akins Glass of Louisville, KY installed the glass.
