Fresh Flower

Taking the Festival theme – FRESH - as a starting point, Corus and LFA2008 challenged architects Tonkin Liu to come up with a signature structure that showcases innovative steel design and provides a mobile discussion and debate that will transform key public spaces throughout the Festival period.

Tonkin Liu’s ‘Fresh Flower’ comprises 11 petals that rise off the ground, arching around a central stalk to create a space within which a moveable stage rotates. LED lights rising from the stalk will illuminate the pavilion. It will be constructed entirely from Corus products including tube and sheet steel. When erected the floor area of the structure will cover 97m2, with the petals ranging from 2.7 to 4.3 metres high.
