I was approached with the brief to co-ordinate to fabrication for a relatively inexperienced designer, Amy Beckett with a very conservative client, Wilmott Dixon Construction.<br \/>\nI was able to take the Artists original sketches through to a 1\/4 scale model. We were then able to begin fabrication for the final piece which was to hang in an extremely weight sensitive location above the heads of 100+ diners. I was able to design a lightweight spigotted aluminium sub-frame which carried a wooden exterior. This was CNC manufactured, assembled and finished to a high standard in house.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162\" style=\"width: 1037px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-162\" src=\"http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/forum12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1037\" height=\"1366\" srcset=\"http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/forum12.jpg 1037w, http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/forum12-227x300.jpg 227w, http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/forum12-777x1024.jpg 777w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1037px) 100vw, 1037px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The nodes and spigots are tested.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_626\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-626\" style=\"width: 2592px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-626\" src=\"http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UHlight1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2592\" height=\"1552\" srcset=\"http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UHlight1.jpg 2592w, http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UHlight1-300x179.jpg 300w, http:\/\/broasams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UHlight1-1024x613.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2592px) 100vw, 2592px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">University of Hertforshire<br \/>Refectory Lighting Sculpture, 2010<br \/>in association with Benson Sedgewick and Taylor Wimpey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Name: Refectory Centerpiece \u2013 July 2010 Project Manager \u2013 Broa Sams, Artist \u2013 Amy Beckett Commissioner \u2013 University of Hertfordshire, Law Faculty Lead Fabricator \u2013 Broa Sams, Benson Sedgewick Eng.
