DURAZZO
FLOOR INLAYS/ ORGANISEMS & ANIMAL ART INLAYS : Other
than the BRIDGE OF LIFE Rockwell had designed several
strategically floor focal-points, to create artistic patterns in
terrazzo floors and break the terrazzo mono-tone and color uniformity
looks. Focal points such as the main entrance, around security desk,
and the exposed lower-level below around the swinging Planetary-Pendulum
registering earths movements were used to insert terrazzo
made animals and figurines. Terrazzo inlay organisms DURAZZO
was pre-fabricated based on the colors and aggregates approved by
Rockwell. Some of the organisms like the mosquito had delicate legs
and tentacles, (1/16) thick and for ease of transportation
and installation, Durite used the same terrazzo colors and aggregates
used by (Port Morris) the primary floor contractor for setting the
delicate design and blending with the terrazzo floor. The result
was a uniform floor colors around the DURAZZO floor
inlays. The finished terrazzo floors are very unique, unlike any
terrazzo design previously attempted. The design is entertaining,
highly attractive and setting the proper floor design for the Childrens
Hospitals environment. |
