Yes, the text on the book monument sculpture can be fully customized. At the order stage, you can specify any quote, poem, slogan or corporate text to be included in the design. Text can be applied in both Turkish and English or any other language. The existing maritime quotes of Atatürk can be preserved or completely different text can be used. Font style and size can also be arranged according to request.
The Atatürk relief is crafted at a high level of detail. Facial features, suit details and posture are modeled with anatomical accuracy. Thanks to the bronze patina coating application, every detail on the relief becomes more prominent with light and shadow effects. The most suitable model is determined by examining previously produced Atatürk reliefs and busts in our workshop. Sharing reference visuals at the order stage further enhances the quality of detail.
Yes, the monumental sculpture can also be produced in different color options other than turquoise. Classic bronze patina, antique green, dark brown or a custom tone matching your institution's corporate colors can be preferred. It is recommended that the color selection be planned in harmony with the architecture of the space and landscaping. Combinations using multiple colors together are also possible. Before the order, a color sample can be prepared and submitted for your approval.
All texts on the book monument sculpture are applied using the raised relief technique. Thanks to the relief method, the texts stand out from the surface and gain a much more impressive appearance under light. This technique is superior both aesthetically and in terms of durability; unlike flat printing methods, it does not carry the risk of fading or peeling over time. When raised relief texts are combined with bronze patina painting, they create a unique and permanent visual identity.
Yes, the two-page open book form is produced as a single piece. This eliminates the need for additional joining during the installation process and preserves surface integrity. Single piece production also increases the structural durability of the sculpture and ensures it can be used for many years without deformation. When deemed necessary during transportation and installation, sectional production can also be done, with joining points finished invisibly.
The monumental sculpture is produced with outdoor use in mind. Thanks to its fiberglass structure, it shows flexible resistance to wind loads. Mounting on a concrete base ensures the sculpture is firmly secured to the ground. For earthquake resistance, it is recommended to install the base with engineering calculations appropriate to the ground structure. Especially for large monumental projects, ground analysis and installation planning are evaluated together at the order stage.
