Lighting Details

The circulation corridors are lit by a series of skylights that are flush with the grass

roof. Due to the thickness of the roof sunlight is bounced multiple times as it makes

its way down the skylight. The long grass also filters the light to a small extent since

the skylights are flush.

The Park Gallery is lit naturally with a single large skylight that allows sunlight to skip

accross its grass roof before being directled downward and into the gallery.

The park gallery is the second

largest and is identifiable because it has a large window angled down towards the

public area below. The window has a very deep frame that means it can be occupied

and when within the frame one is also cantilevered outward and downward toward

the park, encouraging interaction between those below and in the window.

The main gallery space is a

double height room that contains a ramp and stairs that leads to the other galleries.

The space is intended to be used mainly for performance, scultpure and installations,

as the wall space isnt adequate for hung images. The important feature of the space

is that it links to almost all the circulation paths, meaning that the space itself can be

reentered at different elevations and from different directions as one moves throught

the gallery sequence.

The space is naturally lit by a combination of sunlight boundcing off the southern

wall, which is angled down to reflect more light and to accomodate the thickness of

the grass on top of the wall, and by bounced light entering the four skylights.

decoratively, to bring the precolonial condition of Newtown into the consciousness of the

community.

Two tall masses suppurated by small gaps between each other and the nearby

buildings, makeup the facade, passers by can catch thin short lived views through these

gaps, through the gallery and into the public space on the other side. Because of the

orientation of the site sunlight will burst through these gaps, projecting a thin line onto

the pavement.

Concept Development

I progressed through a series of different concept that I developed to varying degrees.

Each concept tried to address a similar major theme, that is, the creation of a new

public space that provides the community with a new green space that can be easily

accessed from King St.

Prior to white settlement, the area now known was Newtown was part of the land of

the Cadigal band of the Eora people and consisted of grasslands of predominantlyKangaroo Grass. King St follows the spine of a ridge line that rises up at Sydney Uni

and extends to the south. The street reputedly follows an ancient Aboriginal track

that lead to the coastal plains near Botany Bay. According to the colonial diarist

Watkin Tench, when Europeans first arrived in Sydney it was possible to walk from

Sydney Cove to Botany Bay in only a few hours, through a grassy and lightly wooded

area that Tench described as being like "English Park lands."
