Beyond the City Stage Installation

Collaborating with one of Australia’s leading New Year’s Eve Festival providers, the aim was to create a distinctive structure with a futuristic UFO-inspired design that would serve as a complementary stage to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The objective was to deliver an eye-catching and visually captivating venue that would enhance the festival experience.
The structure featured a construction comprising of lightweight steel-framed modules and aluminum panels. The team designed these elements to ensure a reduced overall weight while maintaining structural integrity. To achieve a secure installation, the aluminum panels were rigged to a scaffold structure.

To accommodate the weight and characteristics of the structure requiring various pieces of equipment on the platform and ground level, efforts were made to minimize the need for extensive anchoring and ballasting. Additionally, there were challenges related to fabrication timing and the realization of certain components, necessitating on-site problem solving and design of connecting elements using rigging components.
