What is the philosophy behind the facade design/colours?
The facade is described by the collaborating artist, Robert Owen, as being like a large plane which responds in ever changing ways to the character of Triptych’s environment. This is most evident on the east facade for instance, where an overlay principle of ‘digital showers’ is portrayed- ‘its as if rain drops have deposited a colour on each line of windows, running down to meet the garden, then dispersing as coloured puddles (cellulose pattern in carpark), swelling like water in a balloon as it is drawn towards the earth. It’s like the raindrops have left behind a poetic memory of their cyclical journey. The integrated artwork ‘Digital Showers’ is symbolic of – The cycle of nature – a poetic memory and a connection to an artwork by the artist in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. The aluminium laser cut facade to the lower carpark levels represents the garden Roberts refers to above. This abstracted pattern is similar in concept to that of the Entry Portico. Note how
