Working as a duo, this project produced an oculus_monument to commemorate the past, present and future ideas embedded in my studio investigations, and to establish a locus for viewing North Adelaide.

Using architectonic elements and approaches from my Bini Oculus Research Institute, I designed a single physical insertion for North Adelaide, a fixed ‘acupuncture’ in the manner of obelisks, monuments and civic columns and sets up a significant presence and urban magnet.
The design was a thoughtful and refined ’mash-up’ of the architectural substance of our combined schemes, mine being about Binocular Vision, Illusions and Perception, my partners project focused on an Open and Liberating LGBTQI Centre.

This architectonically driven exercise forced us to examine, essentialise and edit our languages and principles into a new condensed form – an oculus through which to
view our urban and architectural ideas.
