Throughout this model, I introduced different techniques, different light reflections and circulation. Including a secluded space for viewing (
belvedere) "to find a new challenge" with moving glass panels was one way to approach my
narrative. These panels will control the solar light and public exposure for the athlete, shaping in a form of a podium checkered system. The space away from the privacy is a large hall
dissected into two parts, two pathways that will lead the athlete. Whilst the corresponding wall contains one window, the window is in a matte finish and produces only gloomy light, a symbolic representation of the athlete moving away from the old into something new. The wall on the other hand gets lit up by the northern light and incorporates the elite qualities of the room.
Narrative being:
"Luminous fragment of a sporting complex for an exhausted triathlete on an uprising cliff-faced belvedere."
One thing I've learned from this model's approach is that I shouldn't be too symbolic, but most of all consider the site which within the room sits. Cockatoo island is a visual location that incorporates harmony and leisure, something that i need to consider in my final design.
I need to create space that will fulfill both, the lookout and the resting.
