Production methods and New staris mode

The building above the ground is based on one of Sidney Nolan's paintings called Gallipoli about 1959. The painting itself is based on Nolan's reading of Alan Moorehead's Gallipoli when he started to see the Trojan tragedy not only in epic terms but in relation to the terrible of droughts of Australia, linking the military struggles of Troy with the heat and dust and deprivation of Central Australia.

The underground structure is based on a series Patricia Piccinini's sculpture of motor scooters called Nest. The idea is from her fascination of so called "life cycles of technology" that she continues to explore the tangled interrelationship between the artificial and the natural by imagining the lives of machines beyond their usual forms. Nest present the viewer a family of motor scooters, a mother watching over her little baby.



For the underground structure

It looks a lot better than the previous one
