Melbourne-based architects Adam Newman and Kelvin Tsang have installed a small scale of The Parthenon clad in different hues of colors and murals within the Grollo Equiset Garden at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Australia. The installation, called Temple of Boom, emerges as "an evocative reimagination of The Parthenon", a global architectural icon and an Ancient Greek temple located on the Acropolis, Athens. Newman and Tsang draw inspiration from the colourful and artistic embellishments that once covered the original building over two- thousand years ago. Based on these historical references, dynamic and eye-catching floral motifs and optical illusions, designed by contemporary artists Drez, Manda Lane and David Lee Pereira wrap the installation.
