I had my presentation at 10.20am today, and it went quite well! I was really impressed with what everyone else managed to pull together, it's really interesting seeing such different approaches to not only distribution and transprogramming, but other themes also.
A few points brought up by Cameron and Mirko:
- It would have been good to place the site in a larger context; my design responds well to the immediately surrounding areas, however it needs to be seen at a larger scale due to its locational prominence. I have no idea why it didn't occur to me to do this, it must have slipped my mind!
- Further investigation could be done into the surrounding sites, and how the edges of my design relate to these. I think this ties in with the above comment, if I was to take this project a lot further, I would incorporate some design changes to the green spaces either side of the site.
- The pavilion 3D form is quite block like and 'upright traditional'; could this be changed? I followed through with simple upright extrusions as the site design itself is quite complex, and I didn't want to go too crazy. I think the complexity in the pavilion facades works quite well. I do think I could look further into the roof design.
- Relating to the last comment, most pavilions respond to the concept, however I could have gone a bit further with going against the traditional layout of the amenities block. I agree with this comment, I think I designed the internal layout and walls etc. fine within the pavilions, but especially with the toilet block when it came to the actual installation of internal objects (such as toilets), I disregarded my initial concept. I definitely think I could go further with integrating this concept into more interior design aspects.
- The benches on some of the edges of the green spaces could have been integrated into the design more; as in, they could simply be raised "garden beds" or green spaces that act as seats. I think this is a really interesting idea! Using raised garden beds / green space as seating...
I've decided to follow through with a few of these comments...

Greater context of site location.
Slightly closer context location.
Amenities block experimentation.
Garden seat experimentation.
