Zahner design engineered a unique system for simple, efficient, and permanent installation that met the Gensler's concerns. Gensler's design worked on two levels. “When you approach it from a distance, it appears as a wall, reflecting the unity of the police force,” explained David Herjeczki of Gensler. “As you get closer, it becomes an assemblage of individual pieces, each one paying tribute to a fallen officer. When contemplating an appropriate material for the memorial, [we] focused on the object most sacred to the LAPD: the brass badge.” <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd2.jpg" width="640" height="426" width_o="640" height_o="426" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd2_o.jpg" data-mid="1478782" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd.dedication.2.jpg" width="640" height="433" width_o="640" height_o="433" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/101246/lapd.dedication.2_o.jpg" data-mid="1478783" border="0" align="left"/>The badge manifests itself of plates much like the ones with fallen police officer's names.

Unlike other ferric metals, weathering steel will not rust through. When weathering steel oxidizes (rusts) the layer of rust becomes a barrier to prevent further oxidation. It builds up a layer of rust, and then ceases to rust anymore. Many outdoor public sculptures are made from this material, including much of Richard Serra's giant steel sculptures which could last thousands of years, perhaps indefinitely. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="640" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc_o.jpg" data-mid="443762" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc2.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="640" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc2_o.jpg" data-mid="443763" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc3.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="640" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/103741/mcc3_o.jpg" data-mid="443764" border="0" align="left"/> Professor Kevin Klinger\'s Design Studio Collaborative Muncie, Indiana Weathering Steel 2006; Students of Professor Kevin Klinger\'s design studio had weathering... http://www.handsoftheartist.com/50-50-for-Michel http://www.handsoftheartist.com/following/handsoftheartist.com/50-50-for-Michel Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:47:57 +0000 Zahner / Hands of the Artist 106509 Shellie Bender Lawrence, Kansas Stainless steel 33" x 42" x 30" 1996; <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/106509/benderlarge.jpg" width="300" height="355" width_o="300" height_o="355" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9776/106509/benderlarge_o.jpg" data-mid="455684" border="0" align="left"/>Fabricated waterjet cut 1/4 in stainless steel with glass bead-blast texture with the addition of satin black tnemic paint on one side.
