The Image Captures and Architecture

Electroliquid Aggregation Quote:

"Provincially influenced architecture that fills the gap between nature, culture and people through production and materials"

Plants were integrated into the spaces as they are a part of the stop. One cannot look complete without the other. Adding to that, these plants and panelling structure also celebrates multiculturalism of UNSW as they were inspired by Japanese architecture.

Even though most of the  stop is made of concrete, a touch of warmness was added through the material: wood.  The circular form on the ceiling that is lower than the ceiling level creates a sense of intimacy within the space. Therefore, despite having the cold concrete as the dominant material, the material wood really creates a balance and welcoming feeling. This fills the gap between nature and people.

The circular form of the structure was made into a bench and the area in the middle into a small garden. The idea behind this was so that people would mingle whilst waiting for the light train to arrive. This structure also draws people's attention as the tree (nature) provides shade from the sun and the material chosen (wood) really gives a welcoming feeling.

The 36 Sketch Axonometrics

12 SERIES OF AXONOMETRIC

- exploring amalgamation of 5 rectangular prisms
- each amalgamation reflects a concept relating to two architects; Carlo Scarpa & Olson Kundig

CARLO SCARPA:

• Spaces form ambiguous boundaries.

• Interplay of materials and forms at both the micro and macro scale.

• Locally influenced through production and materials - embodies a strong sense of context.

• Profound incorporation of traditional crafts.

• Landscape synthesised with architecture.

• Design to elude time.

OLSON KUNDIG:

• Ascension the ground plane.

• Architecture as a vehicle between nature, culture and people.

• Collaboration to create unique responses, e.g. in detail, planning, art, etc.

• Architecture seen as kinetic and dynamic - embodies the machine.

• Spaces form ambiguous boundaries.

• Ascension the ground plane.
