Abstract

The refurbishment of the Meuse river boulevard in Venlo instigated Scheuten Glass to donate a giant-sized, 6 metre high version of the stacked glass statue the Sphinx, which had originally been made as a 80 cm sculpture to commemorate the city's 650th anniversary back in 1993. Many hurdles had to be taken to, starting with the preliminary feasibility study, on to adhesive selection, joint design, glass selection, cutting methods, glass sheet layout, and final construction procedure.
