Design Brief

You must provide a space for the mass gathering of a community to view and participate within a multitude of differing events. The space is to embody the notion of social gathering and manifest within a structure that represents the community’s pride and portrays its aspirations. The space must explore ideas of multi-function to create a place of vibrancy during non-event times. This idea of multi-function is not to be contained within the viewing space, but it is to be embraced to all uses across the site in an attempt to maximise social interaction. With this in mind the space must integrate into the surrounding context and take advantage of any existing assets. You must also explore the idea of the crowd in order to identify and deal with issues of circulation, safety, service requirements and the desired spatial experience. Finally as the main function of the space will involve mass movement of people the space is to embody and explore notions of mass multi model transit systems and ideas of sequence in order to heighten the users experience upon arrival.
