1.SITE ANALYSIS Located within the busy Sydney CBD, the building is a high rise office built in 1999, an iconic landmark office tower that defines Martin Place. Interconnected with Sydney’s famous GPO building, No.1 Martin Place is an example of soothing combination between James Barnett’s 19th Century Colonial architecture of the original GPO and today’s award winning architecture created by the Buchan Group. Being located at No.1 Martin Place not only gives the site its best access to the vibrant atmosphere but also brings back the historical value that everyone has to appreciate. The building site is from level 22-24 which overlooking Sydney main attraction such as the Botanic Garden and Circular Quay.
2.Concept With a belief that design has to start from good reasoning JELLYFISH and systematic thinking in collaboration with personal taste that suit the context. I have taken inspiration from the nature where our environment is designed perfectly. The chosen ASSYMETRICAL creature is “the jellyfish” to be my precedent element to base my design upon. The biological body of the jellyfish is creINVISIBILITY ated by radical asymmetrical arrangements around its axis. It is made up of different layers which Epidermis, Mesogloeas GLOW and Gastrodermis. This gives it the special invisibility and ability to glow in the dark. Using all the characteristics of this precedent, final key word is generated as SYSTEMATIC to be my concept to develop all other typologies, specifically spatial planning and theme design. Each of the typology will represent a substantial character of the Jellyfish which transformed into different theme.
