Village Community Centre
2008
- 2009
We
have been commissioned by the City
of Gosnells to design
artwork for the new Amherst Village Community Centre under
a Percent
for Art scheme.
The
project will take approximately nine months, completion
is envisaged for March 2009.
The
Centre will be used by a wide range of community groups
and will incorporate a Knowledge Centre (aka Library),
a Digital Centre, Meeting Rooms and a Hall. Our work
will appear in the foyer,
and reflect users of the new facility.
The
Centre has been designed by Holton
Connor Architects and is
being built by Gavin
Construction. It will be a wonderful
resource for the local community when
completed - we're especially impressed with the Digital
suites that will be available for the people of Amherst
to use.
The
first step in our process was to video in the area,
and also to look through the City's large collection
of video of local community activities.
We
digitised a great deal of this footage and converted
it to vectors.
Then,
the long hunt for frames to use. At 25 frames per second,
and with many hours of footage in the digitised 'shortlist',
this involved slowly hunting through hundreds of thousands
of potential images.
Once
we had about 20 really good images, the next stage
was to do an overall design incorporating several of
them.
This
went through various adaptations in consultation
with the Art Panel formed by the City of Gosnells for
the
project. |
