This port control tower is conceived as an abstraction of local forms, affected by forces of nature in real-time. Deriving organic inspiration from the land (a budding sugar-cane shoot), the sea (shells and fish), and nautical imagery (sails, masts, cranes and funnels) the Transient Monument synthesizes this inspiration into a functional, forward-looking architectural expression. A barometer for the city, it communicates fluctuations wind and tide, while symbolising the transformation of Durban.
