Project Description

Journey – Portals

Warren Langley

ADS was engaged by Laing O’Rourke to design, document, fabricate, deliver and install the artistic vision by Warren Langley:

The portals artwork concept draws on the familiar Australian image of the wispy fronds of the Casuarina tree, one of the dominant tree species on the pre airport site. By distributing the abstracted graphic around the portals the visitor is given a sense of passing through or under this overhead Casuarina canopy.
The intensity of glow from the artwork is directly proportional to the surrounding light level such that the subtlety of daytime effect contrasts dramatically with
the night time experience.
