ÉCOBUAGE / CONTROLLED BURN: PUBLIC ART PLAZA
Winnipeg, Manitoba

Écobuage is a public art project commissioned by the Winnipeg Arts Council. It is a celebration of the relationship between human and natural systems through the recognition of the importance of the phenomena of fire to the prairie landscape.

A six-metre tall weathering steel fireplace structure is the central feature of the plaza. Designed to complement the height of the adjacent park pavilion, the sculptural feature is composed of dynamic planes of steel, laser cut to depict a flickering flame, providing a view of the fire and smoke within. Tyndall stone benches, weathered steel planters, wood storage bins and secondary BBQ pits delineate spaces within the plaza for multiple groups to assemble, while creating a visually and physically engaging outdoor space responding to the flow and functions of the newly designed pavilion.
