Westconnex The Westconnex (marked in pink/grey) is a controversial motorway scheme currently under construction proposed to improve the connectivity from the City to the Western suburbs. It has been described as “the biggest transport project in Sydney and Australia since the Harbour Bridge�. The project has been strongly opposed on economic, social and cultural grounds as it is set to destroy large areas of listed heritage, and habitat for local species deemed under threat. The third stage is currently in planning and set to go through Annandale or Forest Lodge near the proposed Museum site.

SITE

Parramatta Road Corridor The Urban analysis of this precinct indicates points of interests as strengths, weaknesses and areas that could be explored for possible site locations to the Museum site (marked in pink) . The precinct contains a diverse range of zoning types from residential, commercial and various infrastructure. The opportunities this study indicate an importance in creating character, amenity, social infrastructure and open space for its community as it currently contains a concentration of commercial and infrastructural zoning and lacks social hubs and spaces for its community.

Site The site is 5800sq. m located along Pyrmont Bridge road and is bordered by Mallett st and Bignell Lane. The site sits in three zoning area; commercial, residential and industry with the general building height of 2 to 3 storeys, however recent developments in the vicinity exceed 4 storeys.

Heritage Parramatta road is on the oldest roads in NSW, the original route between to European settlements in the first years of the colony, likely to have followed older aboriginal pathways. Although modern infrastructure now replaces the old road the road corridor has been significant in shaping its surrounding context of suburban divisions meets commercial developments. Heritage items in the precinct reflect the character of the development along the road such as churches, retail stores, schools, and the different styles of architecture.

Open Space The precinct has a lack of open green space within it boundary and two parks just on the outer boundary to the south. This highlights an importance in incorporating new green space in the design to improve community health. The Museum design incorporates 4000 sq. m of new open space with the 50% being available 24/4 and the remaining 60% during daylight hours. Open space is to promote social interactions, and provide important psychological benefits.

CONCEPT

25
The concept behind this museum is to connect the rich Australian history and heritage of its amazing range of artists together. The lines that cut through the site to organise the pathways and spaces within were created by lines that are derived from significant locations in their life and career. These artists were chosen for their diversity in portraying different aspects of Australian culture influenced through life experiences and the time in which these artist were or are prominent.

Spaces Although the lines that cut through the site, created from important aspects of certain artists lives, organise the pathways and spaces, what happens within those spaces are ever evolving. The spaces play with transparency, to encourage an interaction between people and between people and the ideas being presented in the paintings and sculpture.

Underground The permanent collection space hosts older more traditional art which requires a controlled atmosphere. Art such as the well-known landscape artist of Han Heysen as well as others. This opens out into an open air amphitheatre with walls that stretch two storeys high where live performances and music is played and the cafĂŠ is situated. Museum logistics and storage is closed off and out of the way with lift access to preserve the art and ensure it is easily transportable. VS- VISITOR SERVICE: 120 SQ. M A- AMPITHEATRE: 235 SQ.

Level Two A greater connection to green open space is established by the integration of a green roof allowing visitors views of the city and a relaxing space for social interactions. The permanent collection space is an adaptable room that has potential to accommodate functions and community events. The temporary exhibit space is a multi-level space enabling a different perspective of the museum and the people in it. PC- PERMANENT COLLECTION: 315 SQ. M TC- TEMPORARY COLLECTION: 60 SQ.

FAÇADE
70
71
Faรงade 1. The faรงade along Pyrmont bridge road is a responsive and interactive faรงade that is programed to move is certain ways. The faรงade is a large number of individual aperture like frames that expand and contract in response to its stimuli. Sensors on the outside path cause the apertures to expand in response to people moving before contracting once the movement has gone. When two people walk past it creates a larger expansion when they meet, like waves crashing together. This is to create a fascination with the architecture that is behind this faรงade and encourage social interactions between people.
72
73
Faรงade 2. The faรงade can be programed to respond to the climatic conditions rather than the people of on the outside of the faรงade. In regards to the direction of the sun and season the apertures can contract higher up the faรงade and be larger towards to bottom where more shading is prevalent. This is a slower moving faรงade that reduces the interaction of the people inside and out, however during summer it can help reduce heat gain and direct sun light inside the museum.

Daylight factor Lighting is an important factor in regards to displaying artworks natural, natural daylight can be used in the museum if it is controlled and diffused and there is no direct light in contact the art. This visual demonstrates the amount of natural light entering the building while reducing the electricity load of the whole building. Natural lighting can be used in conjunction with installed light to guide visitors and highlight the artwork and sculptures in the exhibit. Using natural light creates a connection with the exterior

Materials 1. Concrete panelling encases the majority of the façade and uses a combination of solid panels and translucent panels which utilise optical fibres allowing natural light into spaces and reducing energy costs. 2. The façade is comprised of brass and steel moving elements that are durable in all weather. There are a lot of individual components to create the interactive and responsive façade which sits in front of large glass panelling to establish a visual between the inside and outside. 3. Glass panelling in a range of different opacity’s improves natural lighting while minimising direct sun. Glass used in areas of direct and strong lighting, a higher opacity is used while areas that receive minimal to no direct light, a higher transparency glass is installed. This is installed to minimise energy loads of the building from heating and cooling. 4. Concrete flooring covers the majority of the open spaces and is a colour neutral so not to effect the glare/ reflection on the art. For a space that accommodates a large influx of people concrete flooring is also easy to maintain and is weather proof for the exterior spaces within the museum 5. Timber flooring is installed in the gallery spaces to create a warmth and comfort in the changing spaces. 6. An increase in green open space renews a rundown area into a place for community and connections. A green roof connects the green space on the ground level with the museum and creates a space for relaxation and an area away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Performance Building analysis is important for designing this museum to the WELLS building standard, to ensure an environment that promotes and improves the health of its occupants while being environmentally sustainable. This standard involves air quality and light. Air Quality: As air pollution is a problem in cities due to traffic, and industrial processes, natural and active ventilation is paramount. Light: Studies show that lighting can affect the internal rhythm of a person causing a number of health issues. Providing natural lighting and suitable illumination for the museum exhibitions in accordance to the guidelines can improve a person’s productivity and health. The analysis provides an insight into how the building will perform with these factors in mind in conjunction with sustainable design standards to minimise electricity load from heat gains and losses.
