»Restoration is often a challenge that takes both knowledge, craft & imagination. If you do not have the complete original, it is damaged or maybe has been changed, you have to find a way to bring it back«
»The Alfred Brandt poster column from 1916 was included in the project ›Byens design‹ led by model builder Joakim Weylandt. The last original column was left outside and the paint was almost gone, when this wonderful project started & saved it«
»Hand painted letters on a painted wooden base, with varying street names on the four sides, painted to fit the space. Each side would tell the address of the nearest fire station, police station, post office & telegraph. The letters vary mostly in width to use the space well.«
»One idea was to replace ›telegraph‹ with ›hjertestarter‹ (defibrillator) to make the columns relevant and serve more than a cultural purpose.
Unfortunately the project is not completed — yet«
