The cube, which measures 2.4 x 2.4 metres, is precision-machined from 15mm anodised aluminium and the windows are 18mm square-section aluminium tubes glazed with transparent orange acrylic.<\/p>\n<p>As the long thin windows all point at the exact centre of the cube, it only takes a single light source, located at this central point, to send light through every tube, causing the windows to glow orange. A small number of them also project into the cube to form seating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heatherwick.com\" target=\"_blank\">Heatherwick Studio<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The directors of the National Malus (crab-apple) Collection invited Heatherwick Studio to develop the design of a structure called the Sitooterie for their site in Essex.
