Wyndham can be perceived as an organism; which is formed by an intricate agglomeration of interdependent systems. These systems are evolving and restructuring, encoding Wyndhams true identity, that is one of continual development.

The proposition of an ice installation will be an annual event in the Wyndham Citys yearly calendar. The installation will materialize and capture the evolving identity of Wyndham City. Its purpose is to reveal a relatable identity for the people and the municipality giving its own distinct code and pattern in a 3 dimensional form. Ice becomes a media for exploring and decoding the intricacy of Wyndhams systems. It will generate a unique experience that can be seen from passing vehicles or through a multimedia interface, extending Wyndhams identity beyond its rural scales. The form which is generated by a rule based algorithm, organizes the archimedian solids which are interdependent components that will become the prominent form in representing the systems comprised within Wyndhams network. The idea is not to create a new identity, but rather reveal an existing image of Wyndham City hidden within its intricate complex network of systems that make up its collective identity. Something unique only to the region. Its divergent and emergent traits will promote the dynamism and growth of Wyndham as an emerging municipality, one which strongly reflects the attributes of the city. Its documented gradual deformation and dissipation will become an event to be reflected upon.
