5 Real Time Image Captures of the Marker in the Blacktown International Sportspark

Scene 1: The marker's purpose is to  draw attention to the sports park and represent the multicultural nature of the city. Demonstrated through the juxtaposition of the fluid curved form and the rectilinear entity, the marker articulates Blacktown's 'melting pot' of culture. 

Scene 2: In addition to the marker, there is a space for recreation and relaxation. This space is an extension of the 'arm's of the rectilinear form, which stems from Siza's notion of "homogenous materials carved to create spaces".

Scene 3: The marker from the highway. The curved from which 'spills' from within the marker, seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape.

Scene 4: The marker in relation to its site, the Blacktown International Sportpark. It is situated in the 'Telephone Tower' Site.

Scene 5: A view of the open recreational/relaxation space, which encourages community spirit and interaction. Through this added element, it furthers Scarpa's concept of "parts coming together to form a whole".
