Project Description

The "Cloud Arch" is a transformative architectural art installation designed to coincide with the revitalization of George Street into a vehicle-free, pedestrian-only thoroughfare. Positioned in front of the Sydney Town Hall, this cloud-shaped white arch serves as a symbolic entrance to the newly pedestrianized street. Its soaring form is intended to be a visible landmark from a distance, reinforcing George Street's significance as the vibrant heart of the city.

​

The artwork’s minimalist elegance is achieved through a structurally efficient design, utilizing a simple box beam configuration. The simplicity of its form belies a sophisticated engineering solution, creating an aesthetic that is both light and monumental. Commissioned by the City of Sydney following a competitive international selection process, the "Cloud Arch" stands as a testament to the city's commitment to public art and urban renewal, marking a new era for its main street.
