Graphics and scale

From a former selection of 42 buildings and three bridges, the choice has fallen on ten of these and the Erasmus bridge.
On a row, the Belvedere, De Rotterdam (delivery 2010), Delftse Port, Euro mast, Millennium Tower, Port of Rotterdam, Montevideo, Cubic houses & Pencil and the WTC.

Of course one building can be substituted by another on request.

Buildings and Town Arms in wax

The originals in wax are in possession of double sided and contrasting relief.
This has as a result that after applying the patina on the bronze the deeper lying structure will retain the last color (lightest) applied, all high relief will after buffing show glimmers of the underlying bronze.  The day and night situation will appear on the buildings lined along the dish as the skyline of Rotterdam.

Every shape will have it's own mould and will be cast separate in order to guarantee the highest quality. All the forms are slightly curved to later fit the curves of the bowl.
The Erasmus bridge will be the greatest challenge because of it's stringing.

The high relief plaque will also be converted into deep relief.
This inverted disc will be used as the foot of the bowl.
Combining the two I will also be making a plaque in the form of a large coin.
 

Fitting

Fitting all buildings and the bridge whilst creating a cadence that pleases the eye helps to create the right results.
