Architectural Concepts

Vo Trong Nghia

Tradition brings warmth to contemporary architecture
Architecture mimics natural elements and cultural values
Architecture is a response to the qualities and characteristics of natural materials
The distance between nature and architecture can change people’s experience
Dissolve the distinction between the interior and exterior


Carlo Scarpa

Complexity meets simplicity
Be honest with your material use
The space between is more important
Integration of the old and new creates harmony
Monolithic architecture becomes refined in the detail


Chosen concepts:

1. Architecture is a response to the qualities and characteristics of natural materials.

The use of natural materials and sustainable architecture are key features of Vo Trong Nghia's work. The characteristics of materials such as bamboo and recycled timber evoke designs reminiscent of their forms seen in nature. 

Drawing inspiration from Trong Nghia's work involving the integration of nature with stacked greenery and Sydney's One Central Park, I have attempted to created a light rail stop which will become an island of green on Anzac Parade.

2. The space between is more important.

The spacial quality informed by monolithic architecture as demonstrated in Carlo Scarpa's works is one of the most important traits in his style. 

Along with the consideration of spacial quality, I have also attempted to incorporate the concept of Scarpa's monolithic yet detailed forms which I hope to have captured in the columns of the stop.
