ARCH1202 Tracing and Mapping
Coogee Beach Community Centre
The site is located at 32 degree south latitude and 115 degree east latitude with 42 km altitude. This gives the true north 12 degree deviation with the magnetic north.
The brief of my design will involve site analysis conditions to identify opportunities and also problems before designing. Therefore, it will contain information that will give the image of the CBCC environment situations also any necessary information that will explain the words reciprocity, threshold, materiality, insertion, and infrastructure.
Analysis of the Environment Situations
Sun Analysis
In the summer, the days are long and the sun is high in the sky. During the long summer days, the sun does not rise exactly in the east, but rises to the south of east and sets to the south of west allowing it to be in the sky for a longer period of time.
In the winter, the days are short and the sun in low in the sky. During the short winter days, the sun does not rise exactly in the east, but instead rises just north of east and it sets north of west.
Wind Analysis
The site is exposed to three predominant wind directions which are northeast, south and west. The summer wind will have cooling effect. The winter wind will be make the winter cooler.
Site Access
All roads are two ways traffic expect Alfred Street, the west border of the site. The site are accessed by people through the east and west entrances. The car parking is at the north, east, and west borders. The bus stop is located at the east border.

People's Flow
The crowded area during summer and winter will be along Coogee Bay Road and Arden Street. These are the main roads. People at the beach will be more crowded during summer rather than winter.
Reciprocity, Threshold, Materiality, Insertion, and Infrastructure.
The site is bordered by buildings on three sides and water on on side. Imagine by having the site, the insertion of the fences will be the threshold with the buildings and the insertion of trees will be the threshold with the beach.
The idea of materiality is shown by the soil gound (brown lines), field (green lines), and water (blue lines).
The idea of materiality is expressed through the use of mostly bricks buildings and its relationship with the ground.
The first image is about the threshold of landscape, natural, and manmade architecture. The site is a natural one. This means that it has the characteristic of the environment.
The second image is talking about public and private place. The site is a public place because it can be accessed by anyone and the gate is often opened.
The third one is showing the commercial and residential buildings. The site is located near the commercial buildings. Commercial buidings are usually found in places where public gather.
This image shows the materiality of the site consisting of soil, grass, brickwork, and asphalt.
There are many trees that surrounds the site.
This image of infrastructure shows that there are enough lights around the site because it is a public area. It is also close to the main road where there are more lights.
This image of pipes distribution are showing that the site is located in an area that rain water will gather that it needs double pipes to let the water flow faster to the sea. The rain water being absorbed is also supported by the large amount of green area (field) and trees on the site.

ARCH1201 Project 3 Creative Thinking Process
Insipration
Being reflected by the owner's life, the building will be much a complex building instead of a simple one. The complexity of the building will be expressed in a form of an collage art work. The design will be inspired by the works of a famous architect, Frank Gehry.

ARCH1201 Project 3 Site and Narrative
Site
The site is at 232-234 King Street, Newtown, NSW 2042. This building is chosen to be demolished and replaced with the art gallery because of its positioning on the curve of the street that has made it appeared from a distance. Also, the two buildings between it has lower heights that there will be more parts of the art gallery to be exposed. The size of the plan is 10 metres wide and 30 metres deep.
Narrative
A lonesome woman with life full of problems, now, hoping for a better future.
Script
After being left dead by her husband and kids, this 50 year old woman have no spirit living her life. She was left out from the society also fired from her job. Being raised in an artist's environment, she spent her time gracing variety kinds of art works, the only thing that can encouraged her life. She then thought of opening an art gallery and spent her rest of her life running it. Therefore, she requested her best friend to become her artist.
Artist’s Sentence
Creating art is a walkabout a nonlinear flow whereby the exploration of one idea may spawn many others. The journey has no predetermined path or formula, but is a process, an evolution, and an experience.
Artist's Art Works
The art works produced includes collages, assemblages, furniture dcoration, and public art. There will be other artist’s works also included.

ARCH1201 Project 2
Site and Narrative
Painting
The Spinner’s Grace by Gerald Dou
Script
The harsh noonday light softened perhaps by a screen of leaves falls through an open window. The lights fall lightly through illuminating the modest interior of the space as it continues to fade. The illuminated area is at presence by a sensible yet lonesome woman. Feeling blessed a little prayer before the food is raised with humbleness. The room is left untidy with the misplacing of a thread other household equipments.
Creative Thinking Process
This woman is a hard worker as she belongs from a lower class somehow represent the behaviour of ant. Therefore, ant will be the inspirational source. Ant build their own living space. The idea that can be extract is a solid space that some parts will be taken out and the hollow space will be connected.
Site
The site chosen is at a cliff located at Ireland. This is chosen due to the narrative. The site has the characteristic of being isolated that relate to the idea of privateness.
