Theoretical and Conceptual Approach

My theoretical and conceptual approach was framed by two main observations of Coogee:
- the figure ground shows orgnisation of buildings that create negative/left over space
- infrastructure is based on the grid and dominates the organic landscape

My approach was not to oppose the grid by using organic shapes but to use the grid to create new geometry lines. The geometry lines relate to surrounding buildings, street corners and site boundaries - highlighting certain views and aspects of the building.

Also, by using different levels of openess in structure the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces are blurred. This has been done by making outdoor spaces feel indoor and indoor spaces feel outdoor.
