The Making of the Concrete Sculpture in Atlanta GA.
Atlanta, Georgia (October 2015) – In partnership with Cousins Properties, design help from Uzun + Case, and the artistic eye of Tristan Al-Haddad (designer and architect), Sinclair Construction Group has successfully completed this once-in-a-lifetime project.
Standing at a staggering 33′ tall, the solid black concrete sculpture was placed on site in lifts. Eight tons of rebar helped give Stealth its support, and Forta Ferro Macrofibers ensured thin edges were protected from cracking or breaking off.
Stealth sits in a prominent midtown Atlanta block – across from the Woodruff Arts Center.
