When in Paris many years ago I had envisioned a similar 3-D project in glass (like stained glass) to span a multicolored artistic glass roof above the place of Centre Pompidou/Beaubourg: So that people can experience and feel art as colours and like a beautiful colorful artheaven above them (made like Chagalls windows in Reims)- being protected from the weather, but still not in a solid building. And underneath there can still take place all kinds of artistic and music performances and gatherings: Giving visual art a roof for performance art – thus bridging both and creating not only a background scene for them, but also an wide protective open tent-like atmosphere for everyone.

But nowadays with these much lighter materials it is easier to realize. And your combination with solar energy: phantastic! – especially the round ball like shape I like much better! It would be a perfect contrast to the cubic form of Beaubourg: http://soleille.pagesperso-orange.fr/fabriceneaud/biblio/images/photos/beaubourg.htm
And there you probably find easier sponsors!
Good luck for realisation!Theresa
