What is the aim?
To create a sculptural installation that becomes an intervention, a space, a platform, a shelter, a look-out for a series of artist’s residencies to take place. The intervention will be designed through a competition that encourages collaborations between artists, architects and engineers and students.
The final design will be demountable and capable of being re-configured in order to be relocated to a number of sites. A comprehensive education and engagement programme will run alongside the Observatory project. This will include a breadth of school and community workshops, talks and outreach work with universities.
