IDEAS:

1: The idea of dividing the buildings into two groups and place them on the different position which base on the function of the spaces.

2: Main Theatres sloping along the topography, as if the theatres are grown from the landscape

3: "Linking Promenade", forced people walk along the site and get personal experiences with the park and rivier

4: Materials: 

• Main theatre, Small theatre, reception and restaurant-> masonry and                    curtain walls
• Rehearsal rooms, staff and wrokshops -> bricks

5: Circulation: Varies ways of walking into the theatres, which coordinates with the promenade

Project 3 -- Part 2 From Conceptual to Schematic Master Plan

2xA2 Posters

The idea of dividing the buildings into two groups and place them on the different position which base on the function of the spaces:

• Regular position ( Rehearsal Spaces, Staff Rooms and Workshops) ---> more private and has less access from the public
• Irregular position (Main Theatre, Small Theatre, Outdoor Theatre, Reception and Restaurants)---> More open to public

First thought of the building postion:

• Main Theatre --> Town Hall ( Centre Point)
• Small Theatre --> Old government House (Heritage Building)
• Outside Theatre --> North Parramatta ( Suburban Area)
• Reception and Restaurant --> Parramatta Train Station (Transportation)

Floor Plan

Circulation Diagram: Black Arrows show the main Circulation of the site. A person could go for the performance straight way after he/she enters the main entrance or he/she could walk down to the lowest level of the site or take a rest on the cafe area.

There are 3 levels on the site, where the Small Theatre sits on the highest level, the Outside Theatre sits on the middle level and the Main Theatre sits on the lowest level on the site. As the Main Theatre is the most important space on the site, I have decided to give it a direct interaction with the river on the main entrance of the theatre.

Roof Plan : The different width cover on the walkway highlights  the significant buildings on the site. For example where the ribbon starts at the reception area, it is more regular and then when people walk along the stairs towards the lower level to the restaurant, the cover gets wider and irregular, thus gives people a sense of pause on the site.

Project 3 -- Part 1 Conceptual Design and draft model

Conceptual Design,

• By looking at project 1, our site is located next to the Parramatta River and Prince Albert Park where it is a "Transition Point" along  South Parramatta (high density) and North Parramatt (low density)
