The local office of engineering firm GHD asked me to design something about the local landscape, that could also improve the acoustic performance of their cool office space (in the Bing Harris Building). Autex Cube is a really versatile rigid material: we could print on it, and water-cut any shapes we wanted, which allowed us to create a relief image to have more presence and hopefully more improved sound in the room.

This illustration is a loose kind of fish-eye view of Otago harbour, with stylised shapes that might remind people of Robin White or Colin McCahon. Part of the drawing process (pencils, then vectors) involved fitting the shapes as efficiently as possible into the large panels of uncut material, in a kind of reverse jigsaw puzzle, to reduce cost and waste.
