Experiment 2 - Final Submission



 "THE MARKER"
BLACKTOWN INTERNATIONAL SPORTS PARK


"Monumental designs which are geometrically pure, memorable and drawn from traditional ideas, 
yet evolving towards a spacious organic form."






5 Significant Images:

The "Marker" functions as an observatory tower, allowing for the users of the sports park to watch sporting games and to look out over Eastern Creek and the Morreau Reserve.


The landmark quality and memorable nature of the marker is highlighted through the rhythmic repetition of spearhead forms.



The skyward-reaching monument directly represents an electroliquid aggregation of the traditional Aboriginal spearhead and the coolamon.

It is situated on a natural platform covered with a recycled timber deck. The linear platform and stair is juxtaposed with the organic forms of the natural earth and the monument itself, emphasising it's grandeur.


The translucent, geometrically pure "skin" of the monument is breathable, and spacious, allowing for vegetation to thrive within the central spiral stair, as well as anticipating the outlook from the top observatory platform.

Extra Images:

The marker will not only generate public attention as a tourist destination, but the "Blacktown International Sports Park" text allows it to function as a billboard for the sports park.  



The linear scheme of the large stairs and platforms provide a grand entrance to the monument.

The spiral stair's central column provides opportunity for a vertical garden stretching from top to bottom, on top of existing vegetation.
