Project 2: [Final Submission] Site
Cockatoo Island - Atop the cliff, facing the entrance of the island.
Cockatoo Island - Industrial land with a potential to contain something great.
Cockatoo Island - around 3.5km from Sydney CBD, Australia Project 2: [Final Submission] Narrative
"Luminous, transitional belvedere for an exhausted triathlete determined on a new challenge."
Project 2: Week 4 (final) approach
Final image shows some techniques in using walls as a lighting feature. Equipping hollow footings of the wall to luminate the light - a technique used by Ando.
This page analyses the narrative and the motif behind the major words used. This page above all is also quite significant as it provides a better understanding of the space in relation to the artist, the client and the overall site.
Overall 3D view of the room. This is a very important image as it describes the relationship to my client and the room. The room and narrative. Without having to repeat myself, please read what is being written.
Exploring level changes and materiality of the site. Using materials such as foam core, paste board and acetate to convey concrete walls, feature walls and wooden features and glazing respectively.
Interior aspects - Ando's technique of small openings to give a powerful lighting effect. The circulation gets also explored, looking at the way the 'athlete' will traverse through the room - a sensation of a "pit stop" where she will rest, stretch at the sight of beautiful scenery, following a long journey of training.
The relationship of my final model within the site. Embedding the site into the ground - an image of the building being there all along - arising from the ground (belonging). Also the play of entering and exiting the room. 
Final parti thoughts, working with contrast of space of light and dark.
