Exhibit "A"
PRECAST CONCRETE MEDALLIONS — 30 concrete pieces. I will provide the concrete pieces. Installation
by others.
Visitors will walk past a long exterior wall as they move from the parking lot to the entrance of the facility.
This wall will contain three 20-foot long panels that consist of concrete and glass modules designed by children
participating in a community project. For this component, children will have an opportunity to participate in two
different ways: they can bring in round objects that will create a 3-D polka-dot texture on concrete blocks for
the wall, or they can draw portraits of themselves or others. The drawings will be transferred into prototypes
that will be cast in glass (20-30 pieces total). The wall will become the `face' of the community. (This project
component will be coordinated through the Recreation Division). The concrete modules will become
reproducible units for the medallions on the exterior of the building. Installation by others.
STORAGE WALL (CMU) — patterned CMU, cast concrete pieces and cast glass pieces. Sizes vary. Three wall
areas (4'-6" x 14' long) will become community project. I will supply concrete modules and glass pieces and
CAD file with layout. Installation by others.

Exhibit "A"
The City of Fort Collins Art in Public
Places Program is pleased to announce a
proposal for the Northside Aztlan
Community Center project. A project
team consisting of artist Carolyn
Braaksma, City of Fort Collins
Recreation and Project Manager Staff,
Aller - Lingle Architects, and Sink,
Combs, & Dethlefs Architects, has
chosen a number of places for artistic
enhance-ments at the new Northside
Aztlan Community Center.
The artistic elements will consist of the
following:
• A 72" diameter cut metal apex "Porthole" with papel picado (Mexican paper cuts) pattern (detail view
on cover page; overview seen below).
• Lobby windows created with the papel picado pattern.
• Colored concrete lobby floor with cast bronze face and
cast glass disks.
• Precast medallions
• A children's community project on the fagade
of the building.
All artistic enhancements will be integrated with the construction
of the new facility. Because the activity inside the building is so
great, the majority of the enhancements are located on the
exterior of the facility.
Exterior view of upper story with
page/ picado cut metal elements.
APEX `PORTHOLE'- will be created from cut metal with a pattern that is based on papel picado, or Mexican
paper cuts. The metal will be water jet cut metal that is powder coated. 12-14 gauge thick by 72" diameter.
Artist will supply the finished piece of metal that will be ready for installation. Installation by others.
LOBBY WINDOWS — The lobby windows will also have a pattern based on the papel picado (Mexican paper
cuts). The patterns will be rendered on the glass with a stencil and will be visible from the outside of the
building. The digitized pattern for 7 windows will measure approximately 4'-6"x 3%6". I will be responsible
for the patterns and for getting those patterns on the windows. Installation by others
LOBBY FLOOR — The concrete floor will have 3 colors, 25 glass embeds (4"-6"x 1/2" thick), 1 piece of
bronze (10-1/2" x 1/2" thick). I will supply all embeds and block -outs for the embeds. I will also supply the
professional who will color the floor. (169 square ft. approx.) The block -outs would be removed after the
concrete has cured so the glass can be installed with a cushion of neoprene or cork on the bottom and a sealant
around the edges to accommodate differentials of temperature. Installation by others.
