Moving Elements

 

Moving Element: The Platform

This animation shows the first moving element of the bridge. The platform moves from floor to floor acting as an elevator.

Moving Element 2: The Rain Roof

This animation shows the two roof structures and the path rain would take. The original roof would cause a build up of rain in the centre of its dip. When there is rain the second roof is activated and the middle panel sections rise to create the new structure. On the second roof the rain slides off the sides.

The change is subtle so that both structures blend in with the rest of the bridge and both create a cohesive design.

Inspiration and Final Design Explanation

Concept/Electroliquid Aggregation from "The Marker 2" Post.

To Become inspired by nature is to push the limits of design...

Through the inspiration of Neri Oxman and Cedric Price, I have put together a design of what I believe is an example of pushing the boundaries and natural form. By using a style similar to that of Cedric Price's Aviary in London Zoo, and incorporating the idea of natural and cellular form I created a fragmented voronoi column with a facade reminiscent of the Aviary. Having a curvilinear structure flowing from the rectilinear column pushes the brief as they clash and mould in to one form. 

Price's Aviary in London Zoo

At the bottom of the flowing structure, vines grow up the base of the wires to emphasize its unity with the environment. This also enhances the fluidity of the structure.

The stairs lead to a wooden box that the public are welcome to explore. Inside there will be interactive screens and articles relating to the sports park. This information could possible include its historical Aboriginal ties, the Sydney Olympics or the sporting teams.

Throughout the column there will be lights installed so that at night it will be noticeable and draw attention from the M7 highway. The colours demonstrated in Render 5 display the colours of the lights which were inspired by the colours of the Blacktown International Stadium's logo.
