    Metalab provided project management and design optimization services for this installation developed by Shane Allbritton and Norman Lee of RE:site. Crystal Clouds is a suspended sculpture for Charles Schwab Austin,  composed of tetrahedral clouds. This crystalline form was inspired by the state gemstone of Texas, topaz, which can be found in the Hill Country. The framework for the clouds is created from aluminum and 3D printed nodes produced by Texas Metal Printing. Equilateral triangles of dichroic acrylic are added into the aluminum framework to complete the clouds. Viewing the installation from multiple viewpoints allows visitors to see the effects of light and color on the clouds.
