 Tobias Berger: TEXT ON THE ARTIST
Der sechste Schornstein, (The Sixth Chimney), thus the title of the 15 meter high work of art by Jan Svenungsson, will be erected in the spring of 2001 outside Emsdetten, a good kilometer from the village Hembergen, on the edge of a small forest.
Individual chimney stacks in landscape settings, however, are disturbing and ultimately lead to a new definition of the building structure and its surroundings.
Through the provocative, irrational act of building the chimney stack, Jan Svenungsson can on the one hand ring in a new age of non-smoking chimney stacks and, at the same time, articulate a poetic criticism of a society which is becoming more and more rational.

The obvious reason for the listing was the elegance of the façade of this building; a less obvious reason was apparently the importance of the chimney breasts and chimney stacks contiguous with the façade.
If the Prudential had applied to demolish the whole building including the chimney stacks and chimney breasts retaining only the façade and this had been refused they would not have been entitled to compensation.
The Prudential might well have wished for permission to demolish the chimney stacks and breasts because by doing so extra floor space would be available in the new building to be erected behind the façade.

Suggesting movement but never moving, Chimney Stacks Pair—reminiscent, rhythmically, of Brancusi's Endless Column—honors the ancient traditions of brickmaking and chimney-building and lends a spirited presence to its sober brick-paved setting.

 Trimarine - advanced marine projects - Projects - Chimney stacks for cruise ships
Weight saving in a chimney stack fairing is important given the elevated position of these elements with respect to the vessels vertical centre of gravity but it is also fundamental to simplify the movements in the course of installation.
Considering that the chimney stack fairing is one of the more visible parts of the ship and that it became the symbol of every shipping company, it can be easily understood the graphical importance of this element and the creative freedom that the construction in composites offers to the designer.
This project has seen the involvement of Trimarine not only in the management of the in-situ installation, but also in the previous development phase of the construction process in order to optimise the assemby times of the numerous elements and their final assembly on board.
