October 2009 I Gregor Kregar Twisting the Void, 2009

Twisting the Void is now permanently installed at the NZI Centre, Viduct Basin in Auckland.

 

Designed by Jazzmax Architects the feature glass building uses state-of-the-art features to create an environmentally friendly structure. Kregars two large hanging structures (each 5.5 x 5 x 4 metres) are created from mirror polished stainless steeel that reflects and fragments the environment they inhabit as well as echoing invisible molecular structures. Commissioned especially for the new building the works can be seen in the main foyer at the NZI Centre, corner Fanshawe St and Market Place.
