1.1 ANALYSIS:  SITE AND CONTEXT

Looking/Observing/Recording/Researching Kent Street, , Millers Point and The Rocks.

Project Site: Tennis Court Project site in Kent Street

Aim

The aim of this assignment is to study the urban character of Kent Street and how the project site of the existing tennis court relates to its immediate context within the area between the Observatory Hill and Central Barangaroo. Following Aldo Rossi’s urban analysis of permanence and alterations, you are encouraged to analyse the urban system of this part of Millers Point to identify the built forms and the open spaces which either followed permanence or alteration. The project site and context analysis  are critical parts of the design information. This will become the basis against which design decisions are continuously tested and evaluated.

This analysis needs to have a clarity of intent, interpretation and critical evaluation with conclusions: why is the analysis relevant to your project?

Method

Visit the Tennis Court Project site in Kent Street walking down the Agar steps from the Observatory Hill  ideally before the first tutorial in week 1. Alternatively, in small groups of 3-4 students within your tutorial group meet after the tutorial time at the Observatory Hill at the Round Pavilion for detailed site analysis and inspection.

Please bring a camera and a good notebook to record your walk through the larger context to the project site following Gordon Cullen’s The Concise Townscape (1971).

From the Observatory Hill, observe Millers Point in relation to the Rocks, Sydney bridge and the Harbour. Walk down the Agar Steps toward the project site in Kent Street.

Take notes and sketches of your approach to the project Site and what you see in the context. Include people, objects and trees. From the project site of the tennis court, walk along Kent Street on the south and north directions for a few hundred meters to understand the nature of the streetscape.

Then cross Kent Street and walk towards High Street and contemplate Barangaroo from above to grasp the sense of the place. Produce individual sketches in plan, sections and small perspectives.

Prepare a rough plan and a rough section of the site and context to use during your walk

Locate on your drawings the sequence of buildings and urban spaces that you experience in your walk

Buildings defining an urban space or buildings in space – for example analyse the Observatory buildings within the space of the Observatory Hill or observe how the buildings define the edge along Agar Steps. Take notes related to the character of the facades of the public buildings like the corner café and the private buildings along the Agar Steps and how they interact with the public space.

Buildings defining the street – for example the established relation of the sequence of terrace housings along Kent Street versus the relation of the detached housing, (free standing villa after the corner café’) and the alteration along Kent Street of the recent Langham Hotel by Philip Cox or the other shops and pubs along the street.

Terrace House – take notated sketches related to the consistent three-dimensional template with specific dimensions in width, length and height and a typical floor plan. This is usually a linear long site that varies in length with a site width from the narrowest of approx. 4 meters to the widest of approx.10 meters. Record any alteration on this pattern or any contemporary addition to the typical terrace house.

Terrace House – take sketches of the architectural vocabulary by observing the location of entrance door, the terrace/deck enclosed within the volume of the building or built over the  sidewalk, material used to build the Terrace House and the elements of doors, windows and roof, the type of windows and details of the front façade.

Project site – the tennis court in Kent Street - analysis and evaluation in site plan and site sections including materiality, sense of open space, climate and environmental aspects.

Note: If visiting the site, take care travelling to and from Kent Street, Millers Point and while you are sketching and taking photographs on site. We recommend you visiting the site during the day and in small groups.

Submission requirements

Submit to your tutorial group a series of notated sketches, hand drawings and computer drawings as appropriate for the context and the site.

Component	Details
Plan GROUP	Prepare a drawing at the scale 1:500 of this urban sequence tracing the relation between the building forms of public buildings, commercial and private houses and their relationship with the voids of streets, sidewalks, public spaces, small gardens public ground floor with public activities if appropriate.
Sections GROUP	Prepare two critical sections/elevations (scale 1: 1000). One longitudinal section/elevations along Kent Street and one cross-section from the Observatory Hill to Central Barangaroo and Sydney Harbour.
Perspective INDIVIDUAL	Prepare a sequence of five small perspectives following the example from Gordon Cullen’s “The Concise Townscape”, Architectural Press, London, p.17.
Project site INDIVIDUAL	Tennis Court in Kent Street with Terrace House, Cliff, Agar steps (scale 1:200).
Diagrams, sketches and computer drawings INDIVIDUAL	Prepare a series of small diagrams exploring the environmental and physical context of the project site, including but not limited to sun access and shadows.

1. 2 Analysis: Site Environmental conditions

Group work – Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory

Prepare an annotated site plan (drawing at the scale: 1:200) defining building heights and open spaces with an overlay of vegetation mapping. Illustrate summer and winter solar path and overshadowing in relation to the site though graphic diagrams. Collect seasonal climate data (summer and winter) from the nearby Bureau Of Meteorology station- Observatory Hill/ Fort Denison (summertime peak temperature and humidity, wind rose diagram, prevailing wind speed and direction) or use Climate Consultant, https://www.sbse.org/resources/climate-consultant and obtain air quality data from nearby station (NSW department of planning, industry & environment) to represent the outdoor environmental quality (which  can be illustrated using annotated analytical diagram/s). Define Local climate classification/zone and use ‘Climate Consultant’ to explore passive design features for Sydney.

Assessment Criteria

Evidence and ability of assessing the project site and context conditions and their significance for your Project through notated graphic diagrams and drawings

1.3 Analysis: Program

Group work – Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory

Aim

The aim of this task is to analyse the initial area requirements for each activity included in the main part of the project: residential and public space and assess and/or change the brief according to your revised brief and narrative. Who are the residents and visitors of the design components?

Method

Produce a series of notated diagrams which discuss the initial requirements. These diagrams should show how activities can be integrated, shared or separated according to a degree of privacy and/or open to more public activities either inside the Terrace House or in the Public Space.

Assessment criteria

Evidence and ability of analyzing, critically evaluating the project program and proposing appropriate area requirements for the Project.

1.4 Analysis: Precedents of houses and public spaces

Individual/Group work Aim

Aim of this task is to research, critically analyse and represent selected precedents questioning: What can we draw from the analysis of the selected examples? How can we use them for our design strategy?

Historical Terrace House, Modernist example, Sydney and International Contemporary examples, public spaces.

Precedents provide general design principles and exemplary planning organization of a certain design quality. The discussion requires you to argue (compare and contrast) architectural decisions you find  relevant to our project and relevant to the site and context not personal preferences.

The intent is to stimulate a broad awareness of planning organization, its articulation of interior spaces for specific activities connected to open spaces. Most importantly question how the selected precedents are useful for our site and for our brief. See below the selected precedents.

Submission requirements

Submit in studio on A3 sheets black-and-white, a series of drawings (notated sketches and computer drawings as appropriate) including an exploded axonometric drawing to represent the articulation of spaces and activities in your selected precedents.

Method

Describe the planning organization and the general design principles of the selected precedent stating how those criteria are appropriate to the project site through the following diagrammatic and notated drawings:

•    Parti diagrams to reduce the complexity into a simple and precise series of lines which represent the organizational idea behind the project (main circulation / relation between solid and void / building in relation to the open space / geometry/ construction system

•    Critical analysis of floor plans to evaluate the relation between spaces and activities and investigating their relation with the outside open spaces (balcony, garden, terrace, courtyard - entrance, movement, activity)

•    Critical analysis in section to evaluate the vertical circulation through the building and investigating the relation between interior and exterior spaces including a study ofpassive design i.e. natural ventilation, natural light, thermal comfort

Assessment criteria

Evidence and ability of investigating the selected precedents through graphic analysis of notated diagrams, plans, sections and exploded axonometric which discuss the precedents’ design qualities and their relevance to your Project.

PART 2 - INITIAL DESIGN

CONCEPT - TESTING DESIGN IDEAS

10% Individual work

Aim

The aim of this task is to explore THREE conceptual organization strategies for the design components of the terrace house and the public space within the constraints and opportunities of the project site and context and based on the analysis of site, brief and precedents.

Students are encouraged to:

•    Consider basic massing/volumes for the terrace house

•    Explore minimal design interventions for the public space and the role of the existing changing facilities for the tennis court the existing vegetation and the surrounding cliff and Agar steps

•    Develop a design proposal as a clear organizing framework based on site analysis including solar orientation and wind, brief analysis and precedents analysis

Questions to be addressed

Design idea	Question
Massing	How does your initial design for the Terrace House fit in its immediate context? What is the relationship of the terrace house and the public space with Kent Street, the existing vegetation, the cliff and Agar Steps?
Movement	How do you imagine users/visitors entering and exiting the initial design for the Terrace House?  What is the relation between the street and the access to the two residencies (family and couple of professionals) in the Terrace House?
Inside/Outside	Where is the courtyard/garden/rooftop in your Terrace House?
Passive design	Orientation to achieve solar heating/cooling and natural ventilation. Can you explore at this scale the initial thoughts of natural ventilation, natural light and thermal comfort?

Submission requirements :

Annotated two-and-three-dimensional diagrams; sketches and drawings in plan and section and study models to communicate your design ideas

Assessment criteria

Evidence of ability to:

Explore three conceptual organization strategies demonstrating how each strategy responds to:

1.   Project site analysis,

2.   Project program analysis

3.   Lessons drawn from the precedents
