Te Mounga is an Exhibition about a NZ mountain that informs a large part cultural history and has become an  icon for the region. The Exhibition is a response to the  status of this sacred icon and the stories which it has  inspired. The space has been created to represent  a  mountain that has been observed from many perspectives,  literally and figuratively.

My Role in this project was to design and deliver a developed concept through spatial design, narrative  structure, implementation of technology and use of interactive elements.

We wanted the spatial design of Ko Taranaki te Mounga to be built using a multi-faceted approach that reflects both the physical mountain and its representation in the narrative. The space is designed to complement the existing views to mountain and sea and enhances the natural light  that fills the gallery, making it a feature.

Ceiling elements

The dispersed ceiling forms echo the dynamic geological nature of the volcano, and the tephra that is projected from the mountain when it is in a highly active state. The forms are fabriacted from a cnc MDF skeleton and light weight folded polypropylene. The network of forms are wired togegther with internal LEDs powered by a sophisticated lighting algorithim.
