Queen Elizabeth Gates - Hyde Park

For those of you who have seen these gates they are a magnificent sight. Intricately shaped and swirling with leaves, flowers and all made from stainless steel and bronze. Designed by Giusseppe Lund they are designed to encompass design from the century by incorperating symetrical lower section which evolves into an organic freedom at the top.

 Giusseppe Lund has done some similarly fabulous work in other replaces across the world. I have placed some images of these below. This use of metal for the flowers, leaves, winding stems etc are a beautiful representation of nature. I believe this could work within the school setting at Frederick Gent School and has given me several ideas for the final ideas.
