View 2 ( towards west) View 1 (towards east) • Earthy. • From nature, surrounded by nature. • Elevated slab(15”) discourage climbing and protect the artwork from lawnmower or edger. • Monumental but preserving the scale of the building and neighborhood. Illumination Spotlight with PAR 20 50 watt bulb. 20 additional PAR20 50 watt bulbs for one bulb replacement every year. Pull power from existing flagpole lights and add an up spot light for sculpture. • In relation with context Foundation View detail Notes about Foundation: 1.Flexible base, a type of gravel, to better support the concrete slab and sculpture. 2.Adhesive Quickcrete bonding adhesive 3.It’s and industrial driveway design for commercial/industrial facilities so it will be fine for a 7 ton structure. Ours is 3.5 ton. Plus, we beefed it up with the flexible base to keep the slab from moving too much with the shrinking and swelling of the soil due to dry/wet weather cycles. The base material extends 3” beyond the edge of the slab to further isolate it from the soil movement. 4. The 3600 PSI concrete means that it has a strength of 3600 pounds per square inch of surface area for a 4” thick slab. We have an 8” slab, steel bars and the flexible base. As reference, most residential driveways are 4” thick, have a sand bedding and wire mesh, not steel reinforcing rods like this design has. 5. Another thing to keep in mind is since the sculpture has a 6” base that is integral to the sculpture, i.e., its all one piece, the load/weight of the hands is uniformly distributed through the 4” stone base to the concrete slab. All to say there are no point loads from the “hands”. QUIKRETE® Concrete Bonding Adhesive (No. 9902) permanently bonds new concrete, plaster, and stucco to existing concrete, plaster, and stucco. Eliminates the need for roughing the surface before the application. Exceeds the performance requirements of ASTM C 1059 Type I and II. This exterior grade synthetic emulsion adheres new concrete, toppings and Portland cement plaster or repair material to floors, walls, sidewalks, silos, concrete pipes, concrete pavements, concrete and cinder blocks, curbs and steps. It provides a permanent physical bond which is stronger than the material being bonded. There is no need for chipping, drilling or roughing the old surface before application. data_sheet-concrete bonding adhesive 9902.pdf (quikrete.com) . QUIKRETE® Concrete Bonding Adhesive meets or exceeds the requirements for ASTM C1059 Types I and II Maintenance Very Low maintenance required: • *Apply sealer every 10 years • *Change bulb every year • *Change lamp every 10 years I GOT YOU Final Maquette Tentative Schedule July – August 2021 Embedded Time Service October 2021 Mid Design Review February 2022 Arts Conservation Review March 2022 Final Design Approval by AIPP and Arts Commission April/May 2022 Execute commission contract with artist June 2022 Initiate Fabrication July 2022 Build foundation, electricity September 2022 Artwork installation and finishing landscape.
