PROJECT: HOTA Art Gallery
DEVELOPER: Hansen Yuncken The newly completed contemporary HOTA Art gallery is home to the City of Gold Coast’s extensive collection of art and cultural artefacts, and host to many local and international exhibitions. Bland 2 Brilliant Landscape's was contracted to complete hardscape & softscape elements within the grounds of HOTA Art Gallery. Designed by ARM Architects, the HOTA precinct & it's landscapes was unified visually by the dynamic, organic cellular structure of the 'Voronoi', nature’s most robust but delicate shape. A Voronoi diagram is a network of cells that occurs naturally in many plants and animals, even honeycombs and bubbles. It’s a distinctive design motif that has determined the shapes on the walls, canopy, paths and garden beds installed by Bland 2 Brilliant Landscapes. Stand out items included the 'Voronoi' shaped paths, concrete finishes, patterns and joints. HOTA Art Gallery has already received many awards, including; 2020 AIA (QLD) Commendation—Urban Design 2019 AIA (QLD) National Award for Public Architecture 2019 AIA (National) FDG Stanley Award—Public Architecture 2019 AIA (QLD) FDG Stanley Award—Public Architecture 2019 AIA (QLD) Commendation—Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture |
