Which town?

R., with the enthusiastic team that had newly formed since his return into the arena, had finally defined his project for the covering of the sphere, by adapting it to the existing structural factors – a considerable labor of measurements, calculations, calibration and esthetical and rhythmic composition. The gilded discs would almost all be distributed into two sizes = the smaller, convex ones would be held in front of the triangular panels of the shell – each having a porthole set in its middle – while the larger, concave ones, would be placed in relief at all the intersections.

But R. had not wanted to merely present this adapted and simplified version of the golden discs : he had intended for the sphere to be set and surrounded by the twelve petals that had been part of his first model – the twelve structures to be erected around the sphere reaching a height almost equal to that of its equator -, so that the symbol be clear and complete. Thus, rather than seek a balance of approaches, R. invited the community to pronounce in favor of a glorious statement of affirmation – which would also be an imposition, dictating and conditioning everyone’s experience.
