Well I was invited on the grand opening today but unfortunatly couldn't make
it.
The Campo is there indeed but I can't really say where they placed it.
Funny thing is they called me last week for advise...... They wanted the
Campo shine like silver when the sunbeams would hit it and asked me how to
make it look like as shiny as possible. Of course I strongly advised them to
keep it as natural as possible....doubt it if they did :-)
I'm going to visit them shortly and hopefully they didn't torture the poor
thing too much.......
Best,
Jan

That's pretty cool indeed, Jan. Is the Campo already there? I couldn't
find it on the photos.
Btw. such kind of light performance was well known to the anonymous
architects of the medieval cathedrals:
"One of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in France is Chartres cathedral. This
cathedral is aligned to the summer solstice. On the summer solstice the
Sun shines through the window of ‘Saint Apollinaire’ with a depiction of
the Roman sun god Apollo and its rays fall straight on an iron nail in the
floor of the cathedral."
(see

, with photo)
Best,
Matthias

Cool isn't it?
I was asked by the owner if I could get them a 100 kilo Campo.
This one is placed in a position in the building where the sun will shine
through a tube like construction on the meteorite exactly on the moment
the
astronomical summer begins. How cool is that?

Sam Biddle—Architecture firms tend to use their offices as a giant

card they can work inside. Decos' is no exception—except it looks like an
astronaut base, not a Dutch headquarters. Their inspiration? A meteorite
impact." Snip
