MAKING THE KIWI DREAMS COME TRUE

Have you been to Queenstown in New Zealand,  home to the Hobbiten? And who has the experience of the fantastic scenery of the aurora and ice at the South Pole?  Landson Glass had the opportunity to play a role in the Kiwi stories, and help the designers and  architecs to fulfill their dreams. New Zealand is becoming more beautiful after Covid-19.

With forms inspired by the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica, the walkway encompasses both light and sound that add to the user experience both during the day and at night. The Antarctic Walkway follows an axis from Christchurch Airport to the International Antarctic Centre. It takes design cues from Antarctic pack ice and the Ellsworth Mountains. Six frame modules make up the walkway, each with a different angle and height. These modules are stacked and flipped along the length of the walkway to create the superstructure from which the glass walls and roof attach. When read together the shifting angular forms give a rhythm that references the peaks and valleys of a mountain range.

‘Echoes’ is an interactive experience which senses movement throughout the walkway and transfers it into sound and light. The speed and direction of the pulses is triggered by the visitor. Like ripples in the Southern Ocean, patterns form as multiple ‘echoes’ cross each other.

Working with a multi-disciplinary team, Boffa Miskell led the project from concept to completion, providing an innovative solution within the constraints of an airport environment. Structural engineers Holmes, lighting engineers Perdersen Read and light and sound specialists Perceptual Engineering helped realise Boffa Miskell’s design vision of creating an immersive experience that is much more than a functional covered walkway.
