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 at 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. The students prototyped their designs in studio and built them in workshops, before dismantling and transporting their installations to the Devonport location.

Unitec Architecture lecturer Ainsley O'Connell says, “The designs responded seriously to the zero-waste, zero-budget requirements, with each team presenting a full disposal strategy as a core part of their designs,” says Unitec Architecture lecturer Ainsley O’Connell.
