This type of recognition has the added requirement of being able to withstand weather; to handle extreme cases of wind, heat and cold as well as water and sunlight. In this type of piece there is a greater requirement for permanency and protection from vandalism especially when it is in a public place. With all these constraints, the greater mission is to make something of beauty, one which takes into consideration the natural surroundings and the way the piece functions and communicates to viewers. Whether it be mounted to an outside wall of a building, attached to a large rock or completely free-standing in a courtyard, these pieces can be an inspiring feature for an exterior surrounding.
