Topography-
The stairs on the left side have 9 steps, 9 x 175mm = 1575mm
The ramp (on the right side) is 19.54m = 19540mm
Perpendicular radius (of curve) is 10.95m = 10950 mm
Diameter (from stair to stair) is 22.53m = 22530mm
The length from one side to the other is 46.23m = 46230mm
Length of the top section is approx. 8m = 8000mm
Height of low section to top section is 9 x 99mm is 891mm
(As shown in the images above)
The design is processed as a way of allowing the deep wall to act as a piece of architecture that can allow people to climb, sit, use the deep wall as a program to their own needs.
The deep wall can be used as a ramp for the disabled, play area for the kids, and when wet the ramp can be used as a slide.
Ground/Water-
April 30th water tides: 7:22 am 0.6, 7:54pm 0.8 [Lows]
1:11 am 1.6, 1:56pm 1.3, 11:58 1.5 [Highs]
Highest: 1.8, Lowest: 0.5
The tides matter for the views as the deep wall is surrounded with water and there is a sculpture called, ‘Tide to Tide’, which moves in response to the way the tides move.
Thus the tides are important as the sculpture is known as a framed view that can be seen directly adjacent to the deep wall.
The two platforms that my deep wall is placed upon is a timber platform that is base level which is in line with the earth or ground that the grass and concrete is, and the second platform is the elevated timber platform that is raised where the majority of the deep wall is placed.
The images come in hand when the theme of a framed view is incorporated in my deep wall where the line of vision will be spread to allow visitors and tourists to be able to see the Harbour Bridge, Barangaroo Reserve, alongside the International Terminal for cruise ships to disembark, an international crate dock and the Anzac Bridge.

The things surrounding my area are:
- Stairs
- Water
- Barricades/ Fences
- Elevated platform
How do these affect the way my proposal will be placed into my section?
The stairs allow people to attend the second section of the proposal that is elevated if they do not decide to use the deep wall to go onto the elevated platform and or on top of the deep wall. The elevated section provides a step to elevate the proposal onto another level to change the form and the proposal can be seen from all around once visitors walk under it.
The elevated platform contains fences for the safety of the tourists or visitors, the fences block the proposal from being fitted into the site. The concept of the proposal would remove the fences to allow the proposal to be interactive and to allow the freedom of movement with no restricted placement of the proposal.
Point of View
The render conveys how the proposal of the deep wall would appear if the concept was to be added into the real-world.
When looking at the proposal from a front view, the surface area begins working alongside its background to allow the framed view to be the Harbour Bridge, and Barangaroo Reserve. When seen from the right hand side, the view can be seen to be covered yet visible dependant on the positioning, the view consists of apartments and houses on the other side alongside the International Terminal for cruise ships. the view from the elevated section looking at the back view of the deep wall, the view would consist of the Anzac Bridge, partially blocked with the surface of the wall.
