Ceramic Textile System - New Maitland Hospital | Flexbrick

The Ceramic Textile System from Flexbrick functions as a flexible construction system that is easily adapted to cover all kinds of architectural surfaces. This project aims to tell the story of the Wonnarua, who were the indigenous stewards of the land on which the New Maitland Hospital was built. The design, which uses pieces of terracotta to create dynamic patterns with different tones, is an allegory representing the culture of these people. The pergola protects pedestrians from the sunlight as they make their way to the main entrance.
