\nComments of the jury: Very thin walls of the sculpture, poured from monolithic concrete directly on location, required extremely skilful workers. The sculpture is a complicated engineering solution, in which the artist\u2019s vision of sounds and their travel through the chambers meet well with technical realisation.
\n\u2018Cromatico\u2019 gives concrete a new role as an acoustic element. The quality of technical concrete work is very good. The conception’s magic lies in the fact that the sculpture consists only of concrete and of no other additional gadgets or materials. The installation has also been placed successfully into the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n
\nIt is also remarkable due majority of the project was done as pro bono by all parties, as a sincere and voluntary commitment. This is best possible advertising for concrete as such.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
