forewordThe bicentennial observatory is an innovative design which serves to produce a viewing platform for local users to enjoy the scenary view around the rozelle by. the design envisisons the idea of extendind and merging the surrounding landscape elements into a spiral structure which able toact as a walking pavilion. the pavilion is created through the comination of different scales of triangle platforms rotated in a prefixed angle along a general axis; this concept can enhances local users to enjoy the 360 view perspective throughly.

RESEARCH IMAGE54

through drawing collages from the research images, we interested in creating a scenery which shows a graduate change of the background, such as colour, tones and brightness. the reason of adding a graduation change of style in the background could make the focus buildings to stand outs and able to give a strong impact on the audiences.

IN THIS MODEL, OUR MAIN CONCEPT IS THROUGH COMBINING 5 DIFFERENT SIZES OF TRIANGLES ROTATED ALONG A FIXED AXIS IN A FIXED ANGLE AND ELEVATED IN A FIXED HEIGHT. THIS EVENTUALLY BECOME THE PLATFORM OF THE BUILDING, AND THROUGH CONSTRUCTING SURFACES ON THESE TRIANGLE PLATFORMS AND THIS EVENTUALLY BUILD AN DYNAMIC FORM.

SECOND ITERATION MODELIN THIS DESIGN, WE FURTHER EXTEND THE CONCEPT OF ROTATION BY CREATING MORE TRIANGLES IN EACH FLOOR AND THROUGH THIS CONCEPT OF ROTATION, THE PAVEMENT ALONG EACH FLOOR IN THE PAVILLON IS MORE GENTLE AND THE FORM OF THE BUILDING IS MORE GENTLE AND SUBTLE.

THE BUILDING SITS IN THE BICENTENNIAL PARK, WE EXTENDED THE CONCEPT OF CREATING TRIANGLES AROUND THE GROUND OF THE PAVILLON AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE TRIANGLE TO MAKE A WAVY LANDSCAPE ELEMENT WHICH EXTENDS ALONG THE BICENNTIAL PARK.
