roses of bardill.
[zeiss ikon contina IIa]
"the formwork is made of spruce from trees that are felled every spring in the forest around
the village. a carpenter cut the wood into boards of different widths, allowed it to dry, and
then planed it. [...] when poured conrete is used, thought needs to be given to the
appearence of the surface. [...] a total of five hundred rosettes are found on the structure.
we could use our formwork between three and five times. one hundred and fifty rosettes
were carved by hand in two months by two cabinet makers."
