ARCH1202 - Coogee Community Centre - Assessment 3 - Physical Model Images


























Overall Model














Plan (showing roof): Contrast of the 'solid' back edge of the building with the 'softness' of the curved front edge of the community centre. This denotes the transition from the built environment to the more natural environment (oval and beach).














Plan - Ground Floor (above): The main walkway in the middle allows individuals to move from one space to another (more specifically, from the streets onto the oval); the transition is translated into this shape to indicate the 'smooth' transition that is undertaken (the enclosure of residential buildings to the openness of the oval and beach).

Plan - First Floor (below): The curve is intended to mimic the natural coastline of the beach. This shape also allows individuals to have a pleasant view of the oval and beyond that point.


























View of interest: Looking through the walkway, from the streets to the oval.
