1361 Rene Cappadoro, Veneux les Sablons, France Description The totality of the railway station has to be kept in activity makes any realization technical delicate and in any way very exhaustive.

Nevertheless, this area has got a privileged geographical situation in focusing situated in the centre of Fitzroy Garden, Olympic Park and Kings Domain, and nearby Yarra River it has got an ecological role to bear.

Vast esplanades are thus needed (on his natural floor or on an artificial floor above the nails, for a gigantic aquatically complex when bathing, walls and sheet tow evolve on different levels of a mixture of circulation in free forms) These free forms, out of any geometries, and suggesting the English gardens: Swimming pools/landscape will pools, pools for children and babies, waves machine, sculpture with walks Walter-games (Foundation springing in all directions) Water-shoes (connects with water games, dolphins, ballot etc..)

Some hosts could be used for evolution of toy ships An oceanic institute (or is annex if already one exists) Decorators, lighting director etc… gives a sensible technical exploits couldn’t equalize To assume the profitableness of this ensembles also during the winter a part will be covered with a moving plastic roof to keep in touch with the swimming pools, another part will become skating sinks, the games will be to form ice sculpture with inside lights.

So will be scaled for the forum of Melbourne a landscape which will be an everlasting spectacle reminding by the measure is harmony and beauty that the welfare and the clam of the habitants can be a symbol for a great city.

Hotels with hanging gardens A main Disney Land A restaurant representing an old gallery All those walter games are illuminated at night giving a fairy impression – which should attract the population by his spectacle and also by its micro – climate coming up in this area – It is evident this ensemble will take more sense: If you can destroy (or cover) the railway caniouge (S/E of area) If you could overhang ties the birder of the Yarra River by total or in post destination of the buildings of the Batman Au (children’s court, Beanrepair Baths etc…)

If you can make a real connection with Treasure Gardens of the Wellington PDE South and the car park (N-E of area) In case the station will be used (covered) constructs 1 or 2 tram way lines on this artificial floor for easier circulation and to remedy the problem of parking This way to aboard the subject isn’t so triumphal than a gigantic tower, it is in harmony with men and his procuration of today.

A very fine execution (intellectual and material) of this realization with the participation of sculptors, artist painters, architects, landscape-painters.

Critique Strengths The design strategy shows an interesting interaction with the design and the surrounding environment, and focuses a lot on human experience.

The investigation is comprehensive, covering the thinking of the renovation of nearby urban areas.

The richness of functions of the design makes it a new urban centre.

The idea of making use of the space underground and merging the boundary between the swimming pool and the river is cool.

Weaknesses The appearance of the design itself doesn't show many evidence to be a landmark, as the idea of stepped building is common to be seen.

The design focuses too much on the details scattered into different parts, but the overall concept is not strong enough.

The presentation method of using tracing paper is too casual.

Improvement It seems the design focus more on the horizontal expansion rather the vertical establishment. In my point of view, as a landmark, it is also important to let the travellers being informed of far away. In addition, the presentation will be better if isometric drawing can be presented to link the overall form with the functions, as it is quite difficult to point out which space in section belongs to which part in the plan.

978 Wilfrid Robins Crosher, Brookmans Park, England Description It can generally be said that the value of most celebrated sights of the world derived more from their character than from their situation.

Hence, something which will draw particular attention to a specific place does not need to have, of itself, and inherent and unique association within that place. For an association to arise there must be knowledge of its abnormality and of where it is. Knowledge from personal observation or pictorial publicity requires it to have sign in relation to its immediate surroundings and a distinction that make an impact on first sight.

The status of liberty can be located at the panorama visible from near its top can be admired. Otherwise, it has nothing with whole visitors to it can become included. “Landmark“ must offer more than the Statue of Liberty.

The idea comprises a number of structural units having some flexibility of application and use and designed and arranged to produce a definite and immediately recognisable shape and patterning which can be seen and inferred when viewed from any position on the ground or in the air.

Sizes of units in relation to one another and, hence, the extreme sizes of the composition will, to achieve a pleasing and balanced whole, depend in some measure upon the uses to which one or more may be put. The width of the site determined a maximum and the scale of the human requirements could produce a minimum. Therefore, the descriptions below do not just particular indications (but also “possible applications” post).

A circular on plan conical roof of sufficient character to suit the situations and signs of the structures outlines in 4 below and of sufficient height at the “eaves” to suit the under-construction included in 5 below, the whole carried on other units and further supports as required. The roof generally showing strong radiating “ribs“ and covered with translucent material to provide reasonable lighting under during daytime and with permanent ventilation units incorporated.

At the centre of and under the conical roof, a construction forming the base of and support to the unit described in 3 below and, possibly, containing, in addition to the requirements of 3 below, offices and ancillary accommodation etc, for the general direction of the operation of the project and staff and storage space.

Supported on a vertical shaft from the last, a sphere of sufficient size to be prominent in the outward design formed by other units (but not so massive as to be out of scale). The sphere constructed suitably and finished outside with a translucent non-reflecting surface in openable sections (on pivots) for external cleaning, the members of the construction arranged where visible externally to form lines of latitude and longitude of a world map or globes, the surface having “permanent“ indications of the outlines of land and water areas and other principal natural features (rivers, contours) to a detail within the globe scale and in and with practical demarcations and main cities and towns shown. Emphasis can be guide to the State & Victoria which has altitude which will place it in a favourably visible situation.

Five buildings, each partly beneath the conical roof and party extending beyond it. Each building, in the past beyond the confirms of the roof and is the extent visible externally, identical in visible age, shape and appearances and centres on a radius of a regular pentagon, the pentagon centre being directly under the centre of the conical roof, and the shape reflecting the circularity of the whole composition.

Between the return walls of the last five buildings, screen walls set back from the “eaves” line and forming loggias (of a kind) under it and with some decorative treatment (possibly in keeping with the principal function of the Loggias if relevant – see 6 below and “possible applications” post) and, in one screen wall, openings for vehicular traffic and, in the other four, openings for pedestrians.

Behind the last screen walls, any further structures required in construction with the project and, as desired, for providing refreshments or meals out of doors in the loggias or indoors in cafes or restaurants. Parts of the buildings in 4 above might serve in lieu.

Scope exists for varying sizes of individual units without upsetting the basic and effective pattern, thus giving an appreciable degree of flexibility for the provision of amenities for visitors and public participation.

Function includes: Cinema and ballot performance — musical recitals — art and craft exhibitions — competitions involving indoor games and past-times — exhibitions of specialist kinds — practical demonstrations of scientific, domestic and other interests — lectures of many kinds — information bureaux and exhibitions connected with the state and its capital and others of more world more significance.

Critique Strengths The design shows a monumental and clear gesture pointing to the topic of globalization. The treatment of exaggarated scale and symmetric purism shows the designer‘s understanding of “landmark” in a logical way, showing a sense of surrealism at the same time.

The metaphor of the globe has a tight relationship with the inner functions, for example, in the upper part of the globe an “ante-room” in daytime through the North Polar ice-cap, with refreshment facilitates and with access to and from a small viewing platform “at the North Pole“. In the vertical shaft in and from the unit described in 2 above, an elevator and stair providing means of access to the interior of the globe and the “cute-room“ and serving the base unit as required, together with the necessary services.

Weaknesses The consideration of the landscape is ignored.

The whole design looks like a government sculpture belongs to the post-Soviet states rather than Melbourne at present.

Improvement The designer can refer to Cenotaph for Newton, focusing more on an immutable and totalizing architecture, neoclassicism and romanticism.

2583 J. D. Gjaltema, Gravenhage, Holland

Description The whole design is very simple, easy-to-built plastic architecture. When comparing to Eiffel Tower, the building shows nothing of the machine, shows nothing of construction. The building itself is its own destiny, it is even without meaning. It is an electrical clock, if Eiffel Tower is a mechanical clock.

Critique Strengths The design seems too casual, even meaningless to the designer him/herself. But maybe through this way, the design talking about something beyond, linking to philosophy, the state and destiny of being.

Weaknesses The gesture is simple but pessimistic. It is never shows any evidence of creativeness or innovation, but an emptiness of thinking. Although the falling building as a bridge is not too bad somehow.

The consideration of the landscape and the context of Melbourne City is totally ignored.

Improvement The best solution is to redesign as the metaphor of the buildings is pessimistic. It is suitable for an experimental architecture but not a landmark.
