Week 12 Submission

Week 12 Process

Process

Project: 18 DEGREES. This idea is rooted in repeated geometry that exists on the site, particularly several key elements which meet at 18 degree angles. The abstract form that has been generated is then repeated at different scales to inform structure, void space, and circulation. The fractal idea is particularly relevant to the random nature of experimental art.

Concept Resubmission - Process

This design proposal is based around sensitivity to the existing site, creating moments on the site for experimental art to occur. Because of the unknown nature of experimental art, a variety of spaces with varying qualities must occur. Whether it be large surfaces upon which projections can be cast upon, an internal gallery or sculpture, an inclusion of nature, a large outdoor blank canvas, a performance area, or perhaps a  work that requires complete isolation and exclusion. 

The new ferry wharf and amphitheatre

views from wharf back to site

using triangles i was able to dissect the site 

using existing paths and site lines.

geometry dictates paths and paths dictate

the tunnel reuse - tunnel 1 becomes studio access

tunnel 2 access to platform

tunnel 3 a passage to bush path

tunnel 4 a tunnel of the senses
