Chosen Architectural Concepts
Concept 1- Relating to the Light Rail Stop
"The
space between is more important"
Theme: The Multicultural students and staff that study and
work at UNSW
Reflecting
on Carlo Scarpa's architecture and ideas, my work
explores the importance of space. Understanding that in the end the space that
is created from the architecture is the most important, as that is what us
people interact with.
Concept 2- Relating to the Urban Context
"Architecture is a response to the qualities and
characteristics of natural materials"
Theme: Sustainability
Reiterating Vo Trong Nghia's notions of architecture serving
the purpose of conveying the sublimeness of natural materials to the
people who use the architecture/ space, my work reflects such idea by
integrating natural materials where possible.
