0.2. | DESIGN INTENT

| RESOLUTION |

Expressed through the monumentalization of movement, the design translates Wyndham’s role as the epicentre of new urban expansion. In a Western regional context, its urban boundaries ‘creep’ towards a collision with surrounding cities in the future. This future collision phenomenon will be visible as one oscillates through the continuum of Geelong road.

The structure reflects a commentary on the urbanexpansion of the Wyndham region as it expands outwards to carve its own identity in Melbourne’s Western Metropolitan region.

| INTEREST |

• Bridge the gap between engineering and art.

• Marriage of structure and ornament.
