Embedded Files
Part of each sculpture will be created from concrete, with glass mosaics applied to special areas of these sculptures and then the sculptures will be installed on the bridges.
Parte de cada escultura se creará a partir de cemento, con mosaicos de vidrio aplicados a áreas especiales de estas esculturas y luego las esculturas se instalarán en los puentes.

Each sculpture is created in the mind of the artist, captured on paper, and then converted into 3D digital files

Artist David Ocelotl Garcia creates a careful drawing of each sculpture. Those drawings are sent digitally to 3D artist Michael Mowry, who converts each of David's 2D drawings into a three-dimensional digital shape.
There are limits to how much weight the bridges can hold and where sculptures can be placed so they have adequate support under them. To limit their weight, the sculptures cannot be more than twelve inches deep.

Hay límites en cuanto a cuánto peso pueden soportar los puentes y dónde se pueden colocar las esculturas para que tengan el soporte adecuado debajo de ellas. Para limitar su peso, las esculturas no pueden tener más de doce pulgadas de profundidad.

3D digital files are used to create physical molds into which concrete is poured

The digital files defining the 3D shape of each sculpture are sent to the company--ID Sculpture--that will produce the full-size precast concrete sculptures. These sculptures are called precast because they are created with concrete in one place and then transported to and installed on the bridges, rather than being created on the bridge.
First Ian Glas and his colleagues at ID Sculpture use the 3D files to drive a router's cutting blade, cutting a large hole into a big piece of styrofoam. This is a mold that will be filled with concrete, making the sculpture.
Los archivos digitales que definen la forma 3D de cada escultura se envían a la empresa, ID Sculpture, que producirá las esculturas de hormigón prefabricado de tamaño completo. Estas esculturas se denominan prefabricadas porque se crean con hormigón en un lugar y luego se transportan e instalan en los puentes, en lugar de crearse en el puente.
Primero, Ian Glas y sus colegas de ID Sculpture utilizan los archivos 3D para impulsar una cuchilla, cortando un gran agujero en un gran trozo de espuma de poliestireno. Será un molde que se rellenará con hormigón, para crear la escultura.
Colorful patterns are created on the concrete sculptures using glass mosaic accents

Artist Gavin Weir works in David's studio to arrange glass tiles on a tabletop to replicate the accent patterns David has designed for each sculpture. These are temporarily attached to a sticky piece of paper, which makes it easy to transfer them to the surface of the concrete sculptures.
El artista Gavin Weir trabaja en el estudio de David para colocar mosaicos de vidrio sobre una mesa para replicar los patrones de acento que David ha diseñado para cada escultura. Estos se adhieren temporalmente a un trozo de papel adhesivo, lo que facilita su transferencia a la superficie de las esculturas de hormigón.

While some sculptures only have glass mosaics added to them, others have additional elements

All of the sculptures have glass mosaic accents applied to their surfaces. Some also have bronze faces, community-made faces, and stainless steel elements (shown here) attached.
Todas las esculturas tienen decoraciones de mosaico de vidrio aplicados a sus superficies. Algunos también tienen caras de bronce, caras hechas por la comunidad y elementos de acero inoxidable (que se muestran aquí) adjuntos.
The sculptures are pre-cast in concrete by ID Sculpture in Gunnison, Colorado.

The molds to receive the concrete are carved from the computer models and built into large supportive frames. The concrete is carefully pumped into the molds to ensure there are no air bubbles.
Los moldes para recibir el cemento se tallan a partir de los modelos informáticos y se construyen en grandes marcos de apoyo. El cemento se bombea con cuidado en los moldes para garantizar que no haya burbujas de aire.
David and team apply the colorful mosaic tiles to the pre-cast concrete sulptures in Gunnison, before they are transported to Denver and installed on the first bridge.

David and team created the mosaic patterns in his Denver studio, attached them to sticky paper, and then transported them to Gunnison to mount on the pre-cast sculptures.
