Lost and Found

Elizabeth Gower's design for the foyer of Acer Arena (formerly Sydney SuperDome) is a contemporary interpretation of traditional terrazzo paving. Lost and found, features bold broken line drawings of sports people and sporting motifs in the foyer of the SuperDome.

At ground level the inlaid colours appear as abstract lines darting across the surface like reflections on water. When viewed from the upper levels of the building, these fragmented lines form images of figures and familiar objects that relate to the function and site of the SuperDome. Like the shapes we read into clouds or fire, these suggested images invite the viewer's imagination to complete their forms.
