The overall architectural form inserted within the site depicts the machinery and the energy production process in the White Bay Power Station, which acts as a fundamental part of my design.
The energy production process indicates the metaphoric notion through several tubular forms. It reflects the idea of the transition of elements into electricity which has taken a great role in Sydney’s past development. Tubular forms act as a metaphor for spatial linkages, reflecting a fluid and dynamic passage from one object to another, as well as creating specific moments and nodes for people to connect and transition from space to space.
