Sydney’s giant chimneys to be covered with steel climbing plants

Chris Fox, with this urban artwork, wants to make the infrastructure go beyond a character of mere functionality, transforming it into a landscaped landmark.

Multidisciplinary designer Chris Fox is developing an urban artwork interweaving between the interchange ventilation towers of Sydney, in Australia. With his work Fox aims to transform the three huge ventilation towers in landscaped monoliths and make the infrastructure more than just functional.

The project takes ground above a new park on the edge of Rozelle Bay and want to dialogue with its changing habitats. The area vibrant ecosystems, in fact, have morphed over millennia. Previously covered by mudflats and mangrove forests, the site now features industrialized maritime and rail use.

In regards to this ecological change, Fox’s integrated landscaped network should celebrates the history – still in progress – of such a unique place, but for some people there’s a risk that the artwork just ends up as decoration.
