Location
Basel, Switzerland
Scale
1:1
Task
- A 1:1 scaled mock-up of the handrail for the curved balustrade should be checked optically and adjusted if necessary.
- The model is intended to serve as a template for the original, which is made out of marble.
My solution
- Based on the 3-D model provided we milled light plastic to create the parts of the handrail. I assembled and adjusted the model handrail on site by hand until we found a solution that was aesthetically pleasing.
- In order to produce the marble parts based on the information obtained, the concrete balustrade and mock-up were digitalized on site.
