Continuing the theme of looking at the natural world and deriving ideas from it to inform our designs for Gordon St. We are looking at using a
DNA structure to act as protection for the fences along one side of the space. This will act as both protection and over time, when the planting is in place, as a support for the plants. It also fits in with the students developing the playground area, as they are planning a dna structure. It is also possible that we can follow on the dna structure on the fences to flow into a dna bridge across the storm drain. You can never have enough dna!
The photo is just a first attempt to visualise what it might look like. I am looking at the structure being made of
rebar, and being a bit rougher than design in the photo, and costs permitting or at a later stage adding various laser cut shapes to the structure. These would represent various natural forms of defence that we have looked at during the project.
