Another temporary onsite project during the construction period,
this intervention into the hoardings around the site aims to encourage
interest in the building process by opening up a set of strategic
views of the development site.
"RGB Screens" have been cut into the solid wooden hoardings around
the site. These are coloured, hard-wearing perspex windows, protected
by a steel mesh, which turn the day to day view of the site into
a spectacle. The fascinating performance of machinery and workers
on the site, as well as the changing forms of new buildings, are
transformed into a series of monochrome ever changing images. The
experience can be enjoyed by passers-by both on foot or in a car,
as moving past at speed creates a multi-coloured film clip effect.
The windows have been lit from behind the hoardings, so that at
night they are seen as coloured windows hanging in space through
which the site can be viewed in red, green and blue.
