2.1. Pier House 60 Marina Hotel Site Review and Approval of Public Art Installation
Members viewed the Pier House 60 Marina Hotel's public art, a kinetic roller ball
sculpture, and agreed the art work in the lobby meets Code requirements.
Disappointment was expressed regarding the aesthetics of the piece with comments that
its industrial look is better suited for a science museum and recommendations that both towers
should be operational, that a base, where cords are hidden, crown molding and proper lighting
should be added to give the piece a feeling of permanence and warmth, and balls on the ground
should not be visible as they make the sculpture appear to be falling apart. It was suggested
that glowing balls would make the piece more interesting.
