Gaia Forest Preschool Architectural Display Model (2022)
From sculpted earthworks to building bridges, this architectural display model captures the spirit and detail of the forest-inspired preschool design.
Collaborator: Chrysalis Group
Gaia Forest Preschool is kindergarten in Auckland inspired by the Gaia (Earth) Education Principle. Human Dynamo worked in collaboration with Chrysalis Group to construct an architectural display model, in time for the completion of the building.
The model is representative of the site and is to be used as a talking point to showcase the key features within the forest / outdoor play sites and activity areas. Its all about attention to detail.
We fabricated the architectural display model from the ground up; laying the earthworks, flocking the varied undergrowth, pouring streams, building bridges, and hand planting every tree.
It was a very enjoyable journey from initial concept design, site visits with many a reference photo, through model making to arrive at the final product.
