Memorial Tree


The memorial tree was completed by australian architects M3architecture.
The tree marks the site where the first Australian Labor Party was established in 1891.
The tree is enclosed inside a wooden structure that supports 18ft timber pieces hanging from it. the finishes render the original tree shape that existed in the site. The installation uses a controlled grid that supports the timber pieces. Each timber has a unique cut at the tips that suggest the direction of the original surface that was used to cut the pieces in 3d environment. Installation time and costs and methods are not explained although much respect to the contractor that took upon this endeavor.
