"In the foreground is Te Kakano, the experimental sculptural version created as a test bed before the main build. The path spirals into the centre using the golden ratio often found in nature, says Grant, for example in the unfurling of a koru."
“Hundertwasser challenged the whole effect of mankind, that the way that we were acting was, in many ways, being disrespectful to what we had. And he was kind of rattling the cage a little bit. So here we are, nearly 50 years later, suddenly realising that he might have had a point.”
