Ministry of Higher Education, Oman: Incorporating Symbolic Sculpture
Ali Al Bahrani, Director of the Design Department, and Siva, Project Engineer at Oman’s Ministry of Higher Education, share their experiences incorporating a symbolic sculpture into the Ministry’s main building. Chosen for its scientific theme, the sculpture reflects the Ministry’s focus on higher education and serves as an inspirational piece for visitors.
Bahrani emphasizes the sculpture’s impact, noting its grandeur and unique design that intrigues visitors. It stands out among government buildings in Oman, adding a prestigious element to the Ministry. The sculpture’s scientific concept aligns with the Ministry’s mission, making it a meaningful addition to the space.
Siva’s involvement in the project management aspect highlights the seamless process of working with Mainartery Studio. Todd Stuart provided clear specifications from the outset, covering all aspects from engineering to design. His hands-on approach during installation, despite not being a part of it, ensured the sculpture was perfectly positioned. The final outcome was well-received, with the unique sculpture adding a distinctive character to the building.
Both Bahrani and Siva express their satisfaction with the installation and the overall experience. They commend Todd Stuart for his support and the quality of the product, noting its uniqueness in the country. Their positive experience with Mainartery Studio leads them to confidently recommend the studio for future projects, acknowledging the added value and prestige it brought to the Ministry.
