Site: Disused tugboat berths Newcastle Harbour

Lighthouse contemplates different stages of human intervention with the landscape in a historical and industrial context. It refers formally to Newcastle’s coal monument in Parnell Place. Four of the berths will be used to respond in a very material way to the mixed use of the Port – the installation identifies the working mechanisms and natural elements of the harbour. The cube form is the central axis of the work, it is immersive in the day (walk in and view different framed landscapes of the harbour) and a lantern or lighthouse at night.

Back to the City is an initiative of s_Lab space Laboratory for Architectual Research & Design and is funded by The Newcastle Alliance, Honeysuckle Development Corporation & Arts NSW
