The Envelope Sculpture

The Envelope Sculpture was designed by artist Frank Sciarone. His sculpture consists of a large steel surface on which a smaller surface is placed at right angles.

The large steel surface is covered on one side with corrugated iron. This is a reference to the water of the Damsterdiep and the Eemskanaal, between which the area is wedged. Exactly one building plot was kept free for the sculpture. This is emphasised by the size of the sculpture; it is similar to the houses next to it: 9 metres high, 12 metres long and 4.5 metres at its widest point.
