SOLAR GARDEN

Solar Garden employs photovoltaic panels mounted atop slender, steel rods to power a permanent LED lighting installation along the length of the Spencer Street median strip, from Rosslyn to Stanley Streets. By day, the impression is of a garden of solar panels, weaving in the wind, transforming the high-tech, utilitarian image of photovoltaic panels into a quasi-natural experience. By night, energy harvested from the Solar Garden is transformed into a dance of light of LED cattails, choreographed by the urban wind and the rush of air created by the daily ebbs and flows of vehicular traffic.
