Detailed design proposal for the Royal Alexandra’s Hospital’s Donor Wall. The concept for this vibrant donor wall was inspired by hospital donors and their important contributions. Like the cells of a thriving organism, the individual donors represent the foundation, structure and building blocks of this hospital. This two-storey design proposal would be fabricated with laser-cut and powder-coated steel screens, with large cutouts of abstracted cells. The donor plaques would be translucent polycarbonate, computer etched with the appropriate donor name and donation category. Programmable LED lights would be installed behind each donor plaque to create a glowing and vibrant Donor Wall, which would engage hospital staff, patients and visitors.

The concept for this vibrant installation was inspired by the beauty of the human heart and its intricate circulatory system.

Heart Wall would be crafted using large laser-cut steel shapes, which would be layered and interwoven together to create dynamic public artwork.
