Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is the placement of visual elements near one another, generally using the contrast between them to highlight unique qualities of each. This can be made through many ways whether it is through colour like complimentary colour or it can be through shapes of the buildings or their sizes. For example, you can have an historic building with a futuristic geometric structure coming out next to it or a disformed section. Contrast can be made through many ways for when u see 2 things that are not the same yet it is important that they are cohesive and don’t look tacky next to each other and that they were made on purpose. Juxtaposition within the space can make it unique and not only a space but also an attraction.

In my project of Grays Beach Park in the building I'm designing I want to be able to create a structure which will be multi-functional that will be made of multiple contrasting structure which will fit in the theme. In one of the interiors, I would like to play with colour theory and complimentary colours to make a space seem lively. I want my build to be unique and work as an attraction itself that people will want to come to the park to be able to see it, as well as being a place with facilities in the local area.
