PUC was created by the international architecture firm Woods Bagot, and will mark the entrance point to the festival of light and music, just like the Circular Quay marks the significance of Sydney's historical harbor.
The chandelier is made of 200 traffic cones affixed onto a hand welded large circular metal frame, with a hidden interior light source. All of which is synergistically suspended in the air by bungie cables. The video below shows you a glimpse of the chandelier's installation.
