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."

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?

Best,

"Dutch Building Looks Like It Landed on the Surface of Mars


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