is a final-year engineering and design project set on the exposed landscape of Pentridge Hill. Students are asked to design a structure that marks the land through light, orientation, material, scale, and time. Inspired by land artists such as Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, and James Turrell, the work explores how structures can frame horizons, register celestial movement, shape perception, and create lasting experiences within the landscape.

Each student investigates a structural or material principle — including earthworks, compression, tensile systems, and subterranean construction — and applies this thinking through detailed models, structural diagrams, calculations, and material studies. Although the project draws heavily from artistic and experiential ideas, the proposals are developed as fully considered structural interventions.

The emphasis is on the relationship between engineering logic and spatial experience: how structures stand, carry load, weather over time, and occupy the land with precision and intent. Through site observation, physical making, and iterative testing, students develop proposals that are both poetic and technically resolved — combining the imaginative ambition of land art with the rigour of structural engineering.
