CHRISTO AND JEANNE CLAUDE: THE MASTABA, PROJECT
In 2007 and 2008, Christo and Jeanne-Claude contracted professors of engineering from four different universities worldwide to prepare structural feasibility studies about The Mastaba. After consulting with an engineering firm to compare the plans, they chose the proposal of Hosei University in Japan designating that the entire substructure as well as the layer of barrels be assembled flat on the ground. Ten elevation towers will make it possible to raise the entire structure on rails to its final position in about 3 to 4 days. When complete, the Mastaba will be not only the artists' greatest achievement, but one of the most significant large-scale creations in the history of mankind.
