“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

Theme: Indigenous Heritage
The Model
Concept: 'Order & Balance', 'Seamless' - SANAA
The rigid base represent modern society's high regard of structure and order, whilst the upper half, with its curves and smoothed edges intend to represent the forces of nature. I have been influenced by Australian natural landmarks that are integral to Aboriginal spirituality. As a whole, this marker is intended to represent the amalgamation of the place of traditionalism in modern society.
The surrounding space in which the marker is situated is also intended to emphasise a sense of electroliquid aggregation. The marker is intended to be the centrepiece of a communal space. Human activity in the sports park should not be limited to participating or observing sporting events in the stadium, and thus should make use of any available space to create a more multi-purpose venue.
The marker is not a towering structure. It is intended to be a homage to the natural landmarks that are integral to Aboriginal spirituality. Driving past, the marker is still recognisable due to its unique upper body. However it also has been intended to seamlessly sit amongst the mostly smooth terrain of the area, almost as a natural feature within the surrounding landscape.
Location: Water Tank
The water tank site was the most appropriate choice. It was in close proximity to the main car park, as well as being in close proximity to the Athletic oval and stadium. To me, the Athletic Oval and stadium was representative of the entirety of the Blacktown International Sports Park. Thus I have perceived the water tank site as a sort of gateway to the sports park itself.
