| The
brief for this project was to visually unite the two halves
of a recently extended community centre. Improvements
included pathways, gardens, decks, seating areas, a noticeboard,
bin keep and the lady bird letterbox. Concepts were developed
in conjunction with a community reference group, with
works completed by a Community Jobs Plan team. Other community
involvement for the project included planting days, school
holiday workshops and community constructed mosaics inlaid
in concrete pathways. Insects feature throughout the work
as several significant insect-related events occured during
the project : the local landscape supplier was closed
down to prevent the spread of fireants and the centre
was plagued with redbacks. An ant shaped brand was developed
during the project and timber seating was 'branded' with
trails of 'fireants'. |
