Final// ARCH1202 Design Studio 4// Project 3 Draft Design Process

In this design process, I took the things I've learnt from both project 1 site analysis and project 2 precedents studies to support my design.

The central concept of my design is radiating, the reason why is the site is located where old meets new and commercial area meets residential rear, also a conflict zone as the North-south axis and East-west axis which are Paramatta River and Church Street separate the city into active zone and inactive zone. Thus I treated the Theater as a new culture center to radiate the power of music and sense of connection to everywhere of this city.

As my tutor Nikolina suggested, the connection between the river and the site , as well as the connection between the public zone on the site and the Prince Alfred Park need further develop. Also, the building itself can also be improved by play up with the gravity , cantilever and materiality to create a floating feeling of this building. These ideas will be put further while developing this design.

The image below is my poster, and I have images of my model coming up soon.

And the disconnecting on the master plan was caused drawing on separate paper and the rendering dosen't match, I fixed this problem on the presenting poster.
