YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday, HENI Talks is presented by Sir Brian Clarke, the world’s leading stained-glass artist.
Discover ‘Concordia’, a landmark installation by Sir Brian Clarke, newly unveiled at Bahrain International Airport. Standing at an impressive 17 metres high and 34 metres wide (578 sqm), Concordia is one of the largest stained-glass artworks in the world, offering an awe-inspiring visual impact.
'Concordia' integrates multiple cultural influences into its design, creating a harmonious fusion of styles that reflect Bahrain’s role as a meeting point between East and West. The piece blends the mathematical precision of traditional Islamic geometric patterns, inspired by Clarke’s visits to Morocco, with natural elements symbolic of Bahrain’s landscape, such as jasmine flowers, dragonflies, and hawks. Additionally, the work draws from Western artistic traditions, referencing medieval European tapestries and illuminated manuscripts from the “Books of Hours.”
Watch now to explore this extraordinary stained-glass installation and discover the symbolism that lies at the heart of ‘Concordia’.
One of the most celebrated stained-glass artists working today, Sir Brian Clarke has redefined the possibilities of glass in architecture with landmark works across the globe—from the Al Faisaliah Center in Riyadh to Barcelona's historic Exchange Building, and the stunning Stamford Cone in Connecticut.
