‘Sydney is a city that’s not just shaped by water – it’s renowned for it'
Scott Davies, Senior Associate, Hassell Architects, 2020
‘Waterscape’ is inspired by the meandering streams, creeks and the ephemeral tributaries
which form a fertile waterscape across the vast Cumberland Plain of Western Sydney.
While Sydney is known for the harbour and inlets on the coast and the mighty rivers that move through the city, there are other less obvious waterways which have flowed for thousands of years across Western Sydney offering sustenance to many generations. Long ignored these waterways are now being revived and cultivated –their value finally being recognised in a environment of climate change and respect for our resources. ‘Waterscape’ is made of colour changing LMX technology mounted on an architectural mesh.
