Staff previews 2027 'Oasis' theme and temporary Perch installation
Summary
Program staff previewed a 2027 'Oasis' theme with a Perch design-build contest for an elevated 120-square-foot listening structure and a site-specific Red Brick lawn installation, both scheduled for May–October.
Staff described the program’s 2027 theme as "Oasis," a multi-project concept intended to create calm spaces during a period of construction and airport closure. Laura Whitley described the first project, Perch, as a design-build contest for a human-scale birdhouse: "a temporary 120 square foot elevated structure with space for listening to birdsong inspired music," aimed at community engagement and environmental interpretation.
She also described a Red Brick lawn installation and a proposed West End Art Walk linking public artworks from City Hall to the old Powerhouse, ACES and other sites. Council member Bill expressed concern about the name "Oasis," saying he "hate[s] the name" because of its connotations; staff thanked him and said the feedback would be considered during development.
