Glow @Artweek Tyres, plastic piping, bamboo, and coconut shells were just some of the sustainable and recycled materials used by Architecture students for the annual GLOW@Artweek festival on Devonport’s Windsor Reserve. Nine teams of second-year Unitec Architecture students designed and prefabricated a diverse range of interactive light installations for GLOW@Artweek - working to a zero-waste, zero-budget brief.
