Ahoy there!
I have started this thread in the hopes anyone on here might be able to help me with a bit of research for my final design assignment at uni (Bachelor of Design in Architecture).
The assignment is a competition entry to design the new train station and urban precinct for Leppington in the South West growth centre, and of course our tutors are encouraging us to employ any strategy or concept in order to come up with a fresh proposal, not only for the Leppington area itself, but for possible future train station developments.
My way in is proposing a train station with direct access to a football stadium, with the train station itself to be a multi-program facility which works with the stadium acting as a live site (basically catering for both the Home and Away experiences of following of a local football team). This is my way in. The journey of the crowds of football fans from station to ground, ticket booth to stand, the monitored walk back. The roar of the crowd as you buy your beer and miss a goal. Very basically this is the atmosphere Im aiming to research and capture in the station as it draws parallel to the sense of arrival and activity of a station itself.
For those archinerds out there, its the application of the basic rule of architecture through association and disassociation of parts.
The reason for this big rabble, is that you guys, the football passionates, are the exact people to ask for help. I am hoping that someone on here can provide me anything that could be of help. Photographs, Videos, Youtube clips, Quotes, Books, Authors, Poems, favourite Nick Hornby or Brimson lines, anything which captures this essence of game day... even aspects from a footballer walking down the tunnel to take the field. Anything!
Any help would be greatly appreciated and will keep you all posted with how it goes as it could be of interest to you all if successful.
