Hunter Street, monument


This monument is located on the corner of Phillip Street and Hunter Street, outside 8 Chifley, an office building built in 2013. It features three historical maps of Sydney titled 1807 a divided city, 1903 hustle and bustle and 2013 the square is born. On the opposite side of Hunter Street is an artwork titled "Lightwall Crucimatrilux", an integrated wall of glass and mirror panels which is a continuation of the cafe wall that bounds the south side of Chifley Square. It was created by Simeon Nelson in collaboration with architecture firm Hassell.
