wind screens waitangi park, wellington, new zealand

Original proposal

A series of 13 wind-screens measuring approximately 2.4m high x 4.2m long, set out in a staggered arrangement in the 'wind garden' in Waitangi Park.

Thick timber slabs suspended end to end and above each other in a horizontal format – the cut-outs of letterforms giving porosity required to control wind, and at the same time, letting light through and casting shadows. Work in progress

Marquette, showing the original concept of timber slabs forming the screen.
