THE MOSAIC WORKSHOP OF AKELEI HERTZBERGER

“The balconies, the towers, you always could see that there were people outside working. Everybody can do this work. Working on a mosaic is sharing the unknowledgeable. We talked about what kind of story we build in the mosaic. So we composed the story line together. But the edge was the main thing to do for the LiMa people. My work was the bottom. The edge has had to be done very good for the little children who would play there.” Akelei Hertzberger

“It was not difficult to get the residents, who were particularly interested in the design of the courtyard, enthusiastic about this project, especially after they had seen pictures of Gaudi and Watt’s park.” Herman Hertzberger
