“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 earth’s 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 Children’s Hospital’s environment.
