Fly Around the exterior of the building

Image Captures and Architecture

Acutely depicted in this rending is the beauty of curves and how their lines flow beautifully together to create an overarching aesthetic structure.

Modernism, rebelling against the ornament of the 19th century, limited the vocabulary of the designer. Modernism emphasized straight lines, eliminating the expressive S curve. This made it harder to communicate emotions through design.

As Oscar Niemeyer once said, "There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space."

Moving Elements

The first moving element is an elevator that transports staff and students from the square house level 1, through to the research spaces, onwards to the Staff Offices, all the way to the Deans office.

The second moving element is a series of four tubes that rotate around the library in alternate directions. Scattering light and design. This can be seen in the final lumion video rendering here.

For my final model of the bridge, the far right crucifix was used as a base for the circulation across the road and in the major building. As seen above, and with reference to my model, the long arm spans the road to join on the "Staff and research" sector of the building.

Zaha Hadid - Riverside Church

For my model, i have chosen to base the plan of Zaha Hadid's Riverside Church as there are some beautiful line to work with both for the plan and the section.

Simple intersection of the poetic and rational is the greatest measure of complexity

My design has a strong focus on the horizontal lines. This specifically emphasises and relates to the flat planes of the surrounding Blacktown region.

The purpose of my marker acts just as its name suggests, marks where the sportspark is, but furthermore marks a place for rest, and a place for gathering. The water plane adds serenity, the artisan seat under the shelter creates a habitable space.

The long reflective pool detail further express' this horizontal nature, and acts as a spirit level for the rest of the marker.

'Artwork' has been placed on the interior wall above the reflection pool to add detail and accentuate the horizontal lines of the marker.

Tall Gum trees and smaller trees are used in the landscape to create a permeable wall, shielding the visitors from the M7. Bird of Paradise plants have been selected due to the delicate beauty, colour and abundance in Australia.

Lighting has been strategically placed to illuminate the "Blacktown International Sportspark" sign on the very top of the marker as to indicate the location as dawn/dusk or night time. Further lighting has been placed around the space to create a welcoming environment both in the light or dark.

Aboriginal Heritage and relation to Final Model

Aboriginal Heritage

___________________________________

The Blacktown region

The area comprising the City of Blacktown has a long history - Aborigines belonging to the Darug tribe certainly inhabited the area long before European settlement and archaeological evidence of their settlement has been found along creeks in the area. Europeans on exploratory expeditions to the Hawkesbury and beyond traversed the area and the first European settlement occurred at the base of Prospect Hill in August 1791.

Since that time, the area has changed and developed from a largely rural community. Some traces of the past still exist in areas to the north west, although the plans for development will see drastic changes in the next few years.

Pre - 1788

The Aboriginal people of the Western Cumberland Plain referred to themselves as the Darug (also spelt as Dharug, Daruk, Dharuk and Dharruk). The three Clans of the Blacktown area included: Gomerigal - South Creek; Wawarawarry - Eastern Creek; and Warmuli - Prospect. The impact of white settlement meant that there was competition for land and resources. While numbers declined there has always been an Aboriginal presence in Blacktown and today, this is reflected in the name of the City and its suburb Dharruk and the fact that Blacktown has the largest Aboriginal population in the state.

With this Aboriginal heritage in mind, three negative rectangles (of no particular hierarchy) have been removed from the initial prism to mirror the three aforementioned clans of the Blacktown area.
