Exp 2: Marker and Electroliquid Aggregation

Electroliquid Aggregation: 1+1=3
Combining axonometric 1 and 2 to create the marker.
I flipped axonometric 2 to allow axonometric 1 to sit on it. It forms a base for the marker.

The structure and strict geomtry dreams to express the strange, innate sense of space of the building.

Axonometric 1: Top form that is smoothed (artisan tool)
Inspired by Utzon's influence from the ancient pyramids of Egypt and the Mayan civilisation.
This form is very balanced when viewed from ground level, yet it is not a mirror image.
The 5 blocks are engaged in a seemingly "interlocking" way.
When Smoothed looks very 'light' and becomes an elegant floating form.     

Axonometric 2: bottom form
This form follows the alcove shell-like structure of Utzon's most famous building, the Sydney Opera House.
The singular sail form is deconstructed into 5 rectangular prisms.
This follows Utzon's philsophy of the similar nature of the design process to that of the natural growth of nature and the environment.

EXP 2 SITE: Blacktown International Sportspark

Blacktown Interational Sportspark is a multipurpose major sporting venue located in the suburb of Rooty Hill. It was openend in 1999 for the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics. The major thoroughfare through the park is Eastern Road which links the general areas of Rooty Hill and Doonside to the park. The park is linked to the train stations of Rooty Hill and Doonside.

Chosen Proposed Site: Telephone Tower
The Site sits adjacent to the M7 and Eastern Road, the main thoroughfare through the Sportspark. This allows a full unobstructed view of the site and future marker from both major roads. The site slopes upwards towards the M7, allowing the marker to sit 'elevated' on the site. It is easily accessible from the main carpark as well as the softball pitches.

Telephone tower highlighted in blue.
