This wind tunnel of an underpass provided perfect inspiration for Fin and Al at DUFI ART helping them develop a concept based around blowing leaves and the passage of the seasons. The leaves are Oak leaves, very much part of the Greenock or "Green Oak" story and their use of both stainless and corten steel provided an excellent reference between the town's history and renaissance in recent years.
The lighting is concealed behind the wall panels and on one side is purely white for security purposes but on the other side and on the end wall of the underpass where an interpretation of a green oak can be seen, the lights are colour changing, sequenced together and programmed to alter with the seasons.
