NEW IDEA

Our new, much more developed idea merges the initial ark concept, with a number of other ideas. Inspired by the sails of the Sydney Opera House, as well as the sails of ships that have passes by Circular Quay for years since the first fleet, our new idea is a large, focal sculptural float which has reflective qualities and its movement is dictated by the wind and water.

ABOVE: The Very First sketches of our New Idea.

Looping around Circular Quay, a new permanent footbridge structure will exist, that will act as an audience area for the NYE 2030 events. All the people on this footbridge will be armed with a torch, which will contribute to lighting up the sculptures and create moving reflections of light.

At midnight, the whole area will be filled with the lights of these spectators, and additional lights coming from smaller surrounding versions of the focal piece float.
