6 Real time images of the Lumion environment, The Bridge. Together, the sculpture in the centre of the bridge courtyard provides both a centrepiece for the architecture to focus in on, and provides a sunlight sparkling along the architecture. The water falling from the inside sides of the bridge also allows for a connection with nature and architecture. In this way, art, architecture and nature all work together to enhance one another's natural forms and beauty.
The Lumion environment has been uploaded to the arch1101 - ArchDes1 submission folder on the FBE UNSW server. The sketch up model is in the 3d warehouse. They are titled JOLLIFFE_Theodore_Lumion and JOLLIFFE_Theodore_Sketchup respectively.

The 18 Perspectives of bridge:
Upon building the bridge, here are the moving elements: the rotating sculpture art piece, which sheds light upon different parts of the structure, and the moving juts on the bridge, changing where the water falls.

Architectural Theory
The architectural theory based upon an article in the news about architecture.
The key words: Connection, Art, Architecture and Nature
The article: Barangaroo's Largest Public Artwork Announced, (2017), Architecture and Design, Nicholas Rider
Theory: Art emphasises the intimate connection between architecture and nature.

Final of the Light Rail Stop
Here are the remaining images of the Light Rail stop outside UNSW.
An interesting viewpoint, slightly above eye level, and from the main walkway of UNSW (Above), this image captures the unique skyline that displays the geometry of the surrounding buildings and the Light Rail Stop. This shows the geometry and the façade, but highlights the geometry, rather than the façade, unlike the previous two images I have mentioned. It really demonstrates the rectilinear form that the light rail seems to present, yet as we know, doesn't. This comparison on geometries from the Anzac Parade view and the campus view really emphasise the difference opposing shapes can create.
This image (Above) quite clearly portrays the #freethefacade concept, with its plain simple façade, and yet large and quite dominating engineering. The simplicity appeals to the minimalism, while the scale compares to Gropius' industrial design projects.
Another eye level view (Above) This image demonstrates the Geometrically Disposed concept with the simple shapes of an arch, a few rectangles linking one another and a second smaller arch. This allows for the minimalism to once more resurface, and yet the building to still be on a grand scale befitting the prestigious university.

Concepts (And 18 axonometrics)
Here are the two concepts that I have worked under based upon the ideas and architectural styles of Walter Gropius, and Herzog and De Meuron.
1: #freethefacade
This concept was based mostly on Walter Gropius' work, with his industrial building design and minimalist approach. This allows for the design of architecture without the ornament and untruths that a façade attempts to mask. Rather, the size and scale combine with the simple engineering within complex architectural design to create a building that is a true piece of work, rather than simply the façade.
2: Geometrically Disposed
Herzog and De Meuron are also minimalists, conserving materials in unique and interesting manners. They focused on the shape and geometry of the various projects, which not only allows for a conservative and minimalist approach, but brings geometry to the forefront of modern architecture, with its many different forms creating buildings of a truly innovative type.
These are the 18 axonometrics that were designed based of not only these two concepts, but three others that were (supposedly) posted on the group page.
