Research > Design: Progress
Deciding to leave the building type aside for a while, I began to investigate architectural interactions between the city and water.
Prostneset Terminal, Norway
Space Group
http://www.spacegroup.no/projects/prostneset_terminal
A very interesting idea addressing our perceptions of 'edge' where water, view, sky, light and land all converge. The terminal also confronts the enclosed nature of terminal buildings and establishes relationships inside and out, private and public, free and controlled to form a new and adaptive architecture.

Precedent > Research: Update
As a convention centre may not satisfy the complexity requirements of a final year project, i began to investigate variations and alternatives.
Walker Art Centre
Herzog & De Meuron
An example of alternatives to monumental public space, where the use of light, materials, form and texture works to establish a flow between public, exhibition and the street.

Initial Precedents and Inspirations
From a discussion in the first tutorial, suggestions were to begin thinking, “What architecture interests me? And what would I enjoy working on this year? Then work backwards from there.” As I feel intrigued and influenced by deconstructive theory and form making, I began to research buildings and sites that would best respond to this approach.
CCTV, Beijing
Rem Koolhaas / OMA
Cinema Centre, Korea
Coop Himmelb(l)au
Museum and Performing Arts Centre
Reggio Calabria, Italy
Reggio Calabria, Italy
Zaha Hadid
Federation Square
Melbourne, Victoria
Melbourne, Victoria
LAB Architects
An example of successful connection and creation of public space, Federation Square generated a new civic destination from a site that had received minimal attention. Embracing a multitude of cultures and sub-cultures, allowed the creation of complex and unique relationships between civic, cultural and commercial activities. Something similar to Federation Square could be extremely successful in Newcastle.
