As illustrated, the ceiling is web-like with loads distributed symmetrically to each side of the corridor. The crossing of the ceiling and the extension of the long corridor, which creates a very strong perspective view, together provide a cave like experience for the visitors to the club. If look at the ceiling alone, it consists of many single cells with irregular shapes. The single cell is a 3D object, but with the highlight effect by LCD decorative lights, it appears to be a 2D surface and creates a light to darken change in its internal space. The use of light has redefine the ceiling as a comprehensive face instead of a combination of many of the holes. HEXAGON & SHADOW The hexagon element participate in SPANISH PAVILLION is the design bases of the design. Manipulating and duplicating hexagon forms into various shape, size and angle forms the shape of the design. The variation of hexagon generate the unique experience of the tunnel. Shadow generated in day will create an aestheic effect of hexagon shadow which could bring intention to the tunnel design in princess Freeway. TUNNEL EXPERIENCE This is achieved mainly by the design of its envelope.Looking at the pavilion in a relatively far distance, what people would see isthis contrast between the sky color and the mosaic kind of facade. While lookingat a closer distance, the colorful cells creates light and shadow patterns byusing of the sunlight. This is a good indication to the Watergate designproject because we have similar situations. It would be interesting for thedrivers if the design outlook changes along the changes in the distance. But wewant to find out a different approach rather than color in order to achievethis effect. The light and time factors discussed above are also very inspiringthat we will adapt them to our design. We may insert some high concentratedlight devices to some cells in our design to expect a light branch effect (kindof likewhen ufos catch people.) Also, we willregard daytime, sunset and night time as three phases where our design shouldpresent three phases of variations correspondingly. DESIGN INTENSION The Western Gateway design give out an entry statement and arrival experience. The objective is to become the new identifier/ landmark of the Wyndham City. The gateway is not necessay to be in enoumous scale but is necessay to be in iconic scale for highway driver notification. The Gateway should be introducting new ideas and creativeness which could be the discourse of Wyndham City CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS SECTIONS AND ELEVATIONS SITE PLAN 1:2000 0 2000 6000 8000 N
