128 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD FEBRUARY <strong>2015</strong> LIGHTING DAYLIGHTING stories—with 623 apartments. The towers rise from a shared three-story podium that includes a pool, restaurants, and a shopping center. The reinforced-concrete frame, enclosed by a glass curtain wall, is shrouded by horizontal planters and climbing plants. Tall for the area, One Central Park’s height matches a brutalist university tower (designed by Michael Dysart in 1964) directly across the road. In urban terms, the pair serve as a gateway to the city center, since the road it straddles is the main access to Sydney from the west. But the placement also meant that Central Park’s tallest structure would sit on the development’s northern boundary. This move was diplomatic, since it will keep shadows off adjacent neighborhoods. But it was also problematic, because One Central Park would cast a major shadow over its own site—in particular the 69,000-square-foot public garden fundamental to Quek’s vision. The solution was the 148-foot cantilever and its heliostat—an apparatus with a movable mirror that reflects sunlight. The idea was to bounce sunlight into the tower’s own shadow, the garden, and into the shopping center’s atrium through a water-topped glass roof. No one was sure it would work, or even really what working might mean. The structure alone—Australia’s largest residential cantilever—weighs 120 tons and is supported by a huge triangular truss (which also supports a terrace). It was the cantilever, as much as the heliostat, that had people worried. Nothing similar had been attempted on this scale. Where heliostats had been deployed, it was mostly small solar energy installations. A large, multi-mirror heliostat for the enhancement of public pleasure was a whole new deal, bringing aesthetic issues into play alongside the strictly technical. In fact, there are two sets of mirrors: one facing down from the taller building and one facing up from the shorter edifice. The upper, 320-mirror array that is visible to passersby, appears to flutter. This is especially so after dark when, in an installation by light artist SUN FOLLOWERS The heliostat includes 40 computer-controlled sun-tracking mirrors on the shorter tower’s roof; these bounce light off fixed reflectors on the cantilever.
