Sou Fujimoto's concept of 'in-completion' draws the basis of the markers form. The hollow tubes not only allow for viewing through but generate sound as the wind blows through, much like the Singing Ringing Tree. This is made to compliment the didgeridoo-like structure standing tall next to it, a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians.
Most of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings emit a feeling of stability and weight, making the structure feel almost monumental. This drives my concept behind the didgeridoo-like structure, it's form based on the instrument, serving as a reminder of those clans who first inhabited the land.
The marker stands tall, intended to be monumental, to relate to Blacktowns Indigenous history but the material chosen is to represent a 'greener' future. Faswell, the material of choice, is mineral-treated woodchips bonded with cement into interlocking wall forms. The key choices behind this material is that it is lightweight, has a low density, non-combustible, fire resistant, pest resistant and weather resistant, making it a perfect choice for outdoor use.
