Ostinato Pattern




The Parker Palm Springs (below), designed by Jonathan Adler and David Mann has this decorative ornamental pattern that is quite aesthetic in conjunction with the site. I have created a pattern (above) using soundwaves so that I can replicate something similar within my design.

Sound Continued...

When playing with sound, you begin to get some interesting patterns evolving. I like the jaggered edge look and think this could help form an interesting texture. The randomised etching allow for a unique pattern for the eye to play with.

Early Proposal



This image shows a basic proposal with things I want to do with the site.
I also want to place a Ferry terminal somewhere, but its location is yet to be decided.

Spatial Relationship

I have been looking at important aspects I want to include in the site. They have been developed in a bubble diagram.

Digital Threshold


After continuous visits to the site, I was not sure as to what my digital threshold experience was. I began to ponder as to what was it that I did similar each time I went to the site. I realised that after entering the site, and being there for a while I would begin to listen to music. The change of the environment with music was quite drastic and affected how I felt there.
With no music, the sound you hear stretches from the Bridge above, other passengers, birds, ferries, boats and in some areas, silence.

As you begin to listen to a song, your mood and feel is altered. As I listened to an uplifting energetic song, I saw the site completely different. This in effect changed the site and eliminated the natural sound of the environment.

Soundwaves are an interesting phenomenon. They create visually aesthetic wave that I think can be used within my design to develop shapes, forms and patterns within my proposal.

I listened to the sound of the site and recorded as best I could, the sound that was protruding within its context. I then edited the soundwave of photoshop to create interesting and aesthetic patterns.








My next development of this idea is to colaborate soundwaves from the site and mix them with that of one of the songs from my ipod. Perhaps the combination can create an intricate pattern.

Ornamental design



Over the Bridge at Kangaroo Point on Main St, there is a series of apartments under construction. After looking more at the notion of ornaments and linking a building's aesthetics with the surrounding environment, I noticed that the facade is very similar to the Storey Bridge.

Newspaper Article Regarding HSW site



I found this article in the Weekend Paper.
Looks like the site is set for a Boutique Hotel.
