Reflecting on the designs that Khyzyl Saleem did, one of the words that I chose associated with the design is "luxury" which inspired the stair. The juxtaposition of the overhang stair between the soft arc and the sharp triangles at an angular point provide a sense of luxury. Sharp triangles were use to connect my stairs to the overhang line as it relates to the overall design approach of the building which will then produce a cohesive design. Since the upper work-space contains cars which need to be transported between the showroom and the studio, a ramp is built for ease of access. It is designed alongside the stairs to present a good sense of positive and negative space. This is then enhanced by the choice of materials used - concrete, glass and metal plates (for the ramp). I decided to use a glass top for the stair as it has a futuristic feel as individuals while walking are able to look through it.

‘Unforeseen’ exemplifies Sydney’s volatile coastal weather . Sydney’s weather is distinctive as it has multiple facades where a sudden change from stormy, cold (high intensity) to nice sunny weather (low intensity) could occur. It is a site-specific sculpture as there are patterns on the ground that I chose signify the harsh waves (high intensity) and the soft waves (low intensity). The material that I will be using is a powder coated metal with a gradient finish of orange to gold which symbolizes a scorching day(orange) to a pleasant one(gold). The size of my sculpture will approximately be 3 metres.

It is a sleek structure, whereby inspired by the fluid geometry of water in motion. This building was built to be a cultural center and its structure breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture. This building incorporated an element of modernism which hence, in my opinion is a great piece of architecture.









Sunrise provides one with a sense of calmness in spite the business of the city. It is usually one of the favorite time of the day as there is stillness in the atmosphere and provides a warmth. Undeniably, sunrise is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
