EXP2_Design Process

Stage1 : Site constructed in group


The Sportspark locates in a basically flat area whereas a slight slope shows in M7. In the beginning we applied the Google earth terrain to the model, later it turned out to be a trouble in Lumion.


 So the final model was built on a flat plane, with piers supporting the rotated highway.




Stage2 : Form and space of the Marker

Chosen sets of Prisms.


Architecture is the intersection between the poetic and the rational
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you its going to be a butterfly

" ElectroLiquid Aggregation ":
"The beauty of architecture can be unexpectedly revealed through the gradual process of design.



The extension of "L" shaped prisms are inspired by the Boomerang of Darug, the main local tribe of Blacktown history. 


This is also where I started think combining shape with textures, both of which have cultural meaning. The Marker lies over the highway, with 2 "Bommerangs" pointing to the location of Sports park to guide drivers' sight.

Stage3 : Details and inner space






One of the Boomerangs is scaled up to create a inner space. Approached through the other, it can be used as an information center as well.  

Texture used





Stage4 : Lumion Environment


   Only when put in the environment, can we see the whole beauty as well as drawback of the building. It surprised me that the marker fit well into the environment.



The connection between inner and outside is the hardest part of my design process. It took me a lot of efforts to try different possibilities. Through the little wonders on finding every way out, it was  amazing to see how flow of space was created.


 Light can totally reshape a building. Under different illumination, character of textures and shadows change .The days enable us to observe critically , while the nights offer chances to think poetically.
A brand new perspective.
