Title of Entry: An Outstanding Piece Inspired by Nature
Material: Aluminum
Finish: Patina
Total Labor Hours:3000
The design for this incredible project is inspired by the majestic peacock: symbol of beauty, glory, immortality and wisdom. BELT created a main entrance of hand-forged aluminum with patina finish for vehicle access, and two doors for pedestrian access. The colorful tail of the male and the eye-shaped drawings connect with the vital and eternal cycle of nature. BELT combined characteristics such as the variety of colors and captivating charm of the peacock shape to bring the complex work of art to life.
The team overcame some unique challenges during the project. The biggest design hurdle was meticulously recreating the splendor of a peacock body and tail in the surface of a double gate framed in structural aluminum and all solid bars flats. They also had to install coring through heavy, thick coral stone into concrete.
The techniques used throughout the manufacturing process were all handcrafted casting, forging repoussé riveting finished to perfection in aluminum. The results: out of this world.
