Tundra forms are spectacular whether you are in an aircraft looking down, or peering at a rock through a magnifying glass. The chamber in the Legislative Assembly Building is a circular room 20m in diameter and 20m high, with a circular balcony. The arched mural is a celebration of tundra forms in hammered zinc. Its shape is echoed in the clerk’s desk.
