There is something similar in Kansas City, MO. A church designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (on the Plaza) has a shaft of light projecting straight up from the roof. The shaft of light was part of the original design by FLW. However, at the time, the lights required to achieve the intensity and coherency required by the design would have weighed too much for the roof to support. About 10 years ago, they finally implemented the design using high-intensity halogens (which, of course, weigh significantly less).
