After our meeting during the last week...
Tom, Chris and I created a framework for adjusting our proposed Master Plan,
and then allocating the assigned building for each one of us to do.
I advocated for the Sports and Recreational facility...
I find there is a fantastic opportunity for this facility to project a healthy image for the citizens of Torquay, provide the students with a fantastic building and to complement the landscape with a structure that is receptive, organic and sublimely aesthetic.
These images have the most relevance currently for where I intend on heading with this design and what I see this site could hold for the Sports and Recreational facility...
The Anahiem Ice Arena, in LA is the foremost example of what I think would like to use in terms of organic shape, clarity of material, expression of scale, and cleanliness of the desired of look. All this for a Sports Stadium...I also would like to mention the approach of the underside of the building...it has an excellent aesthetic appeal.
The past and next Olympic Velodrome's have provided me with significant inspiration to produce an envelope that moves, has a certain sex appeal which lures you into the depths of the building...obviously to do with this with the appropriate amount of discretion so as not to blow the budget...but I think these images are my muse.
