Dear Leandro, Perhaps you found out already that the sundial in front of the Adler Planetarium was designed by the great sculptor Henry Moore. He was a master of simplicity! It certainly is large: 3.6 meter in diameter. That's why it has such a heavy foot. You can find more about this dial in my website www.fransmaes.nl/sundials. Choose 'equatorial' and scroll down to the last thumbnail in the section 'Armillary spheres - Europe'.
Much success, and keep us informed about your ambitious project! Frans Maes Leandro V.
