Firstly I would like to give Marina an A+ for her birthday and second of all I would like to talk about her building.
Above: Photos of Marina's final project
Marina again in the laser cutting group was instructed to create a project aimed to embody an idea of weathering and the designing and creating of a model that was to be used as a tram stop in the waterfront Parnell area for a new designated Historical Tram route that has been used at the new Party Central area in the City Centre. Marina like Stacey chose to have her train stop positioned at the park located in front of the underutilized Old Railway Station, with the station being elevated to the porch covered area of the main Railway Station entry, thus utilizing the rise, while only compromising 23 parking spaces with the foundations of the tram stop.
Marina's project from the start can be seen to be made from laser cut cork, with the outer areas of the cork removed as she explained that they had a really strong unpleasant smell of....well, burnt cork. Improving the office space of the previous project didn't apply to the laser cutting group with a completely different project that attempted to encapsulate the tram track designs as an original project aim. The weathering element as she describes is to do with the idea of the building being covered by rust and lichen, with the building form itself reflecting some ideas of becoming unravelled, bending and warping under elemental conditions while providing functional protection through the buildings cover and walls. Even the buildings positioning aims to follow that lichen aspect, growing out of the concrete/stone drive ramp sides like a giant lichen, clinging to what should be a solid, strong wall. She finally brings up the ideas of the building being weaved, with the roof and the walls linking and overlapping to create an interesting texture that really makes this project a standout one in the group in terms of material use and form.
Happy Birthday!!!
