WINNING COMPETITION SUBMISSION
The beauty of barren trees and tall grass in the winter prairie is matched only by the sounds of their branches and brush moving in the wind from the plains. It’s a constant and subtle rustle that becomes both audible landmark and sonic envelope. These Shelterbelts, planted by farmers, operate as protective areas for animal feeding as well as landmarks and delineations on the open landscape.
Created for The Forks 'Winter Warming Huts' competition in Winnipeg, Canada, this ‘Shelterbelt’ seeks to reimagine the qualities of these windbreaks through an environment of steel rebar. Several hundred steel stalks of varying lengths are anchored vertically to a base, creating a protective screen. Two entrances / exits allow indirect access, but the full interior (including seating) is only truly visible once inside the environment, creating a secret world for its occupants. Wind and the movement and interaction of those inside the installation causes the rebar to oscillate and collide, creating an almost constant metallic rustle; a sound field
becomes an audible landmark and a sonic envelope for its inhabitants.
