While Layana and I were still talking to Delano, Willem Kwekkeboom (the chair of the board of the foundation Street of Sculptures) and his wife Marianne walked in with a spectacular model of the proposal by Rob Voerman. They had picked it up at Rob's studio in Arnhem.
It was great to see the enthusiasm of both Willem and Marianne. To fuel their excitement even more, I showed them the model of Jennifer Tee's proposal as well.
An interesting discussion has now come up: Layana, seeing how Willem and Marianne reacted to the models, insists that we should show all sketches and models to the public as soon as possible. Willem and I however, feel that that would ruin the surprise. Layana's arguments on how the publicity and marketing of the project would benefit, are very convincing.
So the question now is: is there another way to raise that same level of enthusiasm of the public? Ideas anybody?

Not only that, but if you intend to involve people and if you want to create anticipation, I feel you have to present the sketches. After all, the anticipation is at least as much an adventure as the actual experience!
