Envision what public art looks like within the public space of Masdar City in Abu Dhabi. The artwork will provide thought-provoking experience, shade for recreation, a place of contemplation, and will be a gateway to Masdar City, while generously providing clean electricity to power the lives of residents.
The iconic artwork for a landmark site will use renewable energy technology as a medium of creative expression and will provide on-site energy production consistent with the master plan of the city.
The three-dimensional sculptural form has the ability to stimulate and challenge the minds of visitors to the site.
Next to providing opportunities within a variety of spaces for recreation, events, and interaction, the work should aim to inspire the world about the beauty of renewable energy infrastructures and bring a positive message about life in a post-carbon future.
The work of arts is to be designed as a permanent installation that will serve as a contemporary, relevant, and lasting cultural attraction that provides a recognizable image to bolster local character and be proudly associated with the place.
The studio will be informed by provocative imaginary of visionary architects and cutting-edge land art.
