My proposal for site 1 in Newtown drew strong influences from contemporary aboriginal art. Its long thin layout leads to linear progression through the site, with interesting spaces being created by tall logs made of local wood materials. This reference to the natural world will enhance the display of aboriginal art, by focussing on the earthern colours, and drawing links between the urban environment, the art, and the natural land.
By having a roof which is constructed of 2 large, long skylights, broken up by a panel dividing the roof down the middle, allowing natural light to enter the building and light the spaces in a consistent manner, while maintaining temperature by creating shaded spaces on the interior, preventing any artwork from being destroyed by the light.
The space on the upper floor consists of naturally formed pillars of wood, spaced randomly throughout the upper floor. This gives a natural feel to the space, allowing the art to be exhibited in an environment similar to what it is representing.
