“Lonsdale Gateway”, the catenary lighting structure at the intersection of Lonsdale and Russell Streets in Melbourne, celebrates entry into the city’s Greek precinct. Positioned above one of Melbourne’s busiest intersections and tensioned between four structural spires, the structure utilises a cable net with two main spines, East-West and North-South, to suspend 144 Greek inspired programmable LED lights in a spectacular display of light.
With its net of 8mm stainless steel cables and specialist Ronstan rigging components, “Lonsdale Gateway” stands testament to what can be achieved with the combination of efficient structural cable solutions and the application of sound engineering principles.
