Project : Monument ParkLocation : New Quay . Docklands . Melbourne . VictoriaYear : 2013-14Project Value : $100,000Scope : Sculpture and park lighting designClient : Callum MortonTeam : MCR . OCULUS . MAB

After a successful design collaboration early in 2013 working on the Melbourne Theatre Company’s production of Other Desert Cities, renowned Australian contemporary artist Callum Morton approached Candlestick to collaborate on Monument Park in the Docklands Precinct, Melbourne.

The park pays homage to the iconic statues and public art works throughout Melbourne by using the basic forms of these icons of the city and abstracting them with the use of drapery and geometry.

The design team worked closely with one another and with the City of Melbourne to make this an exciting, engaging place to stop, relax and inhabit.

The approach to the design was to create a destination IRU�UHVLGHQWV�DQG�YLVLWRUV�E\�FUHDWLQJ�D�FRPIRUWDEOH��DQG�PXOWLSXUSRVH�HQYLURQPHQW�IRU�DQ\�WLPH�RI�GD\��
