Manly Interchange was a major redevelopment of a transport interchange sponsored by the NSW Department of Transport and the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority. UAP was commissioned through Tract Landscape Architects to design a range of urban elements for the revitalized foreshore precinct. Nautilus, the main sculptural feature, was inspired by shells found in Sydney Harbour and incorporates misting devices that create a highly popular interactive water feature. Other elements designed for the project include street furniture, telephone booths and a historical timeline.
