	Steel Project Case Study Gallery: Luminous Veil - Prince Edward Viaduct Safety Barriers, Toronto
		The Luminous Veil is predominantly a steel structure that not only functions as a deterrent, but also preserves the aesthetic appeal and historical heritage of the viaduct and surrounding area.
		Completed in the Spring of 2003, this transparent and open-concept veil is seen by thousands of commuters who cross over or pass under the viaduct landmark on a daily basis.
		The veil stretches outwards of the main line of the construction where it meets a major bridge abutment support.

		She discusses its use in ancient times, talks about the practice of veiling by Islamic women, addresses the veiling of sacred objects, and talks about how the veil is used in dance today.
		This is different from the veil as it is manipulated in Oriental dance because in the Azeri women's dances, the veil is attached to a hat or a headdress.
		Veil dancing in the United States had several early roots in "The Dance Of The Seven Veils" of Oscar Wilde, the famous skirt dancers Kate Vaughan and Loïe Fuller, and in Hollywood visions of the ancient Orient (see the section on the Dance Of The Seven Veils [in the full manuscript]).

		Regulations for low-beam headlamp luminous intensity have fairly strict requirements on the necessary shape of the headlamp beam pattern in the central part of the beam.
		Because of these regulations, the luminous intensity of HID headlamps is usually similar to that of conventional halogen headlamps near the center of the beam, even though HID headlamps typically produce twice the light output as halogens.
		Disability glare refers to a luminous veil over the field of view caused by scattered light in the eye that reduces contrasts in the visual scene and degrades visual performance.

		I've come to see and touch and experience the luminous veil, a term already fraught with religious underpinnings, coined by its architect Dereck Revington, but instead of being uplifted I am profoundly shaken.
		We are accustomed to weaving our own obscuring veils of words and catchphrases and symbols of caring, relieving ourselves of the necessity of seeing too much or too closely.
		Ultimately, the Veil- with a cost of over 5 million dollars- and the two inexpensive Distress Centre signs that bracket the overpass accomplish, or fail to accomplish, the same mission, the saving of lives.

		This fungus is characterised by a terrible smell (likened to rotting-meat) which has been known to cause groups to change their campsites.
		This fungus is not a fly catcher but rather attracts blowflies to crawl through its veil, collecting spores which it spreads through the rainforest.
		The white phallus-shaped fruit body, about 20cm high, emerges from the ground during the night and spreads its lacy veil that almost immediately attracts the blowflies to it.

		Finally on April 19, 1999 five of the seven committee members voted for the Luminous Veil by artist/architect Dereck Revington, and his studio out of 15 entries (Bragg and Spears, 1999).
		“The Luminous Veil transcends its pragmatic function to recast the viaduct from its current status as “The Bridge of Death”-as it is know within vulnerable communities-to a place filled with life and light, a triumphant symbol of civic pride” (Canadian Architect, 1999: 32).
		Although eloquent in his description of the Veil, and his vision for the project, Revington’s insistence that the bridge felt dark and heavy because of its occasional purpose as suicide platform is hard to justify or qualify.
