Pattern.
Rhythm, drawn in glass.
SELECTED PROJECT
Shanghai Disney
Glass within architecture.
Printed glass brings a recognisable graphic language to entrance features, canopies and balustrades. The project archive follows the motif from a framed entrance to surfaces seen against the sky.
Selected from the POBO project archive.
01Project overview
A motif, across three settings.
The Shanghai Disney entry in POBO’s historical project archive records printed decorative glass for entrance features, canopies and balustrades. Corresponding client photographs show these three applications, from the large graphic at the entrance to smaller repeated motifs on overhead and edge glazing.
02 / A project reading
Background / spatial intent
At the entrance, the arched frame gives the graphic a clear architectural setting. Along a stair and beneath a canopy, repeated motifs take on a quieter rhythm. Each view shows a different relationship between pattern, framing and daylight.

Application of glass
The documented contribution concerns decorative glass for these entrance, canopy and balustrade elements. The photographs bring the glass surfaces into focus: framed graphic panels, a repeated pattern beside a stair, and overhead glazing viewed from below.
04 / A project reading
Material expression
Opaque printed areas sit alongside clear portions of the glass. The contrast makes the motif legible while allowing views of the sky and surroundings. The warm entrance frame and canopy structure give the pale patterned surfaces a distinct context.
05Design highlights
Details that shape the reading.
Entrance feature
A large graphic is composed within an arched architectural frame.
Balustrade rhythm
Repeated motifs follow the line of the stair-side glazing.
Pattern overhead
The canopy view shows the printed surface against daylight.
