Cottage Creek Precinct
Identified as a key site to the revitalisation of Newcastle, this site will be an important component of the jig-saw of Newcastle's renewal. A strong and diverse urban context exists, ranging from the industrial port and recreational sailing club, through to the city and civic activity. Challenges with the site are opposing opinions of what should be built, and due to the large scale of the potential building, integration with the existing context will be important.

A more detailed analysis will need to be taken to draw a greater variety of public spaces. A large gesture may not be the answer and a successful approach will be a fine grained one.
Sections interesting, though the most curious spaces are the streets, railway and wharf and not necessarily the built forms.
An answer from left field may be adequate as the site is under scrutiny, and a potential to deliver a message exists. Also a grand gesture may not necessarily be the answer, as the site is so large, a small gesture could have as great if not greater impact.
Direction: Find the site constraints; with a large site they will be vital to beginning to design.
