Architecture + Women Installation

The amazing architectural photographer Sam Hartnett took these shots below of the recent 'Archive of Atmosphere' install at the A+W exhibition. 

Big thank you to Lindesay Construction for construction and materials. 

The 'Archive of Atmosphere': Water drips from overhead, is collected, processed and crystallised. The embedded particles are an archive of local climate. 


Proper respect to:

The wall creates a warm edge for some outdoor livin'.
