City Exhibition Space<\/strong> in Customs House at Circular Quay was opened in early 1999. It was a Council initiative designed to provide a space for discourse about urban planning and for inbound tourists to learn about the city in the lead up to the 2000 Olympic Games staged in Sydney.<\/p>\n

CDP worked in conjunction with Council staff, project manager Root Projects Australia, and exhibition designer Desmond Freeman Associates, to conceive, develop and deliver this innovative Council initiative.<\/p>\n

\nIntroduction and City History<\/strong>
\nLCD monitors were inset into large glass graphics display panels. One at the entrance advertised the themes of the space. As visitors moved into the exhibits, three floor-to-ceiling glass blades displayed graphics, texts, encased objects and an LCD monitor.<\/p>\n

Each display related to a period of time from 1788 to 2000, using motion graphics created by artist Chris Caines and a soundscape evoking a sense of each time period.<\/p>\n

Sydney Model ‘Sky-Cam’ and Video Portraits<\/strong>
\nAn eight metre long scale model of the entire CBD of Sydney was created using leading-edge modelling technologies and techniques. Visitors used a control pad and joystick to examine the model in detail via an overhead colour video camera mounted on an electronically controlled gimbal.<\/p>\n

A series of LCD screens around the perimeter of the model showed video programs commissioned by CDP and produced by Porchlight Films.<\/strong><\/a> These showed aspects of life in various parts of the city.<\/p>\n

Sydney \u2013 Harbour City<\/strong>
\nThis multimedia show involved the activation of the main exhibition space to present a panoramic visual exploration of a day in the life of Sydney Harbour. Lights dimmed, automated blinds covered the windows looking out onto the harbour, and an 11 metre wide screen rolled down from the ceiling.<\/p>\n

A multi-speaker soundscape and 3-source synchronised video program was enhanced by the cued illumination of showcased objects in the space, a twinkling fiber-optic starscape and video images projected onto a huge glass table representation of the harbour outline.<\/p>\n

Icon Histories<\/strong>
\nTwo showcases displayed specially produced videos telling the history of the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, revealed through archival media.<\/p>\n
