Student Leisure Pool
The Student Leisure Pool gates have a flowing water motif
made out of a mix of mild steel and steel plate. The pattern
is a negative form that enables those looking at the gates to
see through to the other side. The elements, suggesting the
movement of swimmers through water, leap from panel to
panel, following their path of travel. The forms culminate in
the symbol of the nautilus, whose proportions are expressed
in waves as they crest.
