WYNDHAM CITY GATEWAY PROPOSALCHEN HAN / RYAN WEYBURY / LEANNE WONG

. Wyndham City Council’s brief aspires for a design which is engaging, experiential and explores place-making aspects and abilities. The challenge therefore, was to create a form which at-tempts to speak to the community in a manner which is mean-ingful, and thus integrates Wyndham’s specific aspirations and the unique location of the site to create a memorable, immersive experience for passer-by’s along an otherwise forgettable highway. In order to achieve this, our contention is to show the innovative nature and wealth of possibilities involved in combining materiality and digital tools.

Materials themselves are instilled with innate sensory qualities, capable of evoking feelings and responses unique to the observer. However, by also understanding their technical potential and enriching materiality with digital characteristics, it is possible to design in accordance with architectural parameters, conditions and relationships. The synthesis of these two distinct realms – the digital and the material – gives rise to new opportunities, of allowing new possibilities for efficiency and fabrication, whilst retaining the natural uniqueness of the material. As a group, we have thus sought to investigate the use of materials so that they do not appear primarily as texture or surface, but in their whole depth and plasticity. We are designing a behaviour; resulting in a form which is responsive, thoughtful and thus desirable, for the Gateway brief.
