Shedding light on architecture’s 10x10x10

For 10 nights, the southern façade of Hobart’s Federation Concert Hall will be illuminated by shining white light images in the lead up to a series of free evening events to celebrate National Architecture Week.

From 7pm every night from Tuesday 20 October, four projectors will cast a series of intensely magnified images of the construction of natural matter, such as salt crystals, onto the curved brass drum of the concert hall on Davey Street.

The lighting show is priming Hobart for 10x10x10 – four nights of fast-paced Pecha Kucha-style show and tell staged by the Australian Institute of Architects. Ten different presenters each night, showing a maximum of 10 images in no more than 10 minutes.
