Theme and Concepts

Theme chosen: Multiculturalism

Concept: Utilitarianism, practicality and transport evolution

Practicality: This idea addresses the usefulness of having light rail potentially replacing buses as the main form of transport to and from UNSW.

Transport evolution: This idea targets the expired idea of bus as the main source of transport, and how Sydney will evolve as a whole towards light rail. 

Situated on Anzac Parade, the Light rail Stop UNSW is a demonstration of the evolution of unreliable stuffy buses to the future of Sydney public transport, light rail. 

Featuring two different faces, one for each direction along Anzac Parade. Students and staff alike are now able to reduce travel time and increase comfort both to and from UNSW.

Experiment 2 Concepts

Concepts 
Adolf Loos

• Ornament results in the undue obsolescence of everyday objects.

• Ornament is a sign of degeneracy.

• Loos alludes to the timeless qualities of architecture devoid of ornamentation.

• Focus on uses of space.

• Loos equates ornaments with “savagery”.

• Progress of culture is associated with the deletion of ornament from everyday objects.

• Eliminating wastefulness.

• The urge to ornament one’s self is the baby talk of painting.

• A blank canvas can be more.

• Buildings often composed of pure forms and justified by their economic practicality and utilitarian qualities.

• To not mask the true nature and beauty of materials by useless and indecent ornament.

• The true vocabulary of architecture lies into the materials themselves. The building should remain dumb on the outside and contrast austere facades with lavish interiors.

Rural Studio

• “Architecture more than any other art form, is a social art and must rest on the social and cultural base of its time and place” – Samuel Mockbee.

• Establishing the ethos of recycling, reusing and remaking.

• The studio questions what should be built rather than what can be built.

• Everyone both rich and poor deserves good design.

• Rural studio encourages the use of wood as a renewable and readily available material throughout the studio.

• The initial sketch is always an emotion not a concept.
