1/3 This is the Stage 2 entry by MUIR+OPENWORK+SARAH LYNN REES for the Barangaroo Pier Pavilion Competition. For this stage, we were joined by Doug Southwell from Scott Carver and Phil Gardiner from WSP. . We acknowledge the Gadigal. Their lands and waters, unceded. Their knowledge and generosity the foundation. . The landing. A site whose history is embedded in the culture of place. A place that was defined by the landscape that surrounded it. An edge that meets water that over time had evolved through erosion. A place that provided a livelihood and culture for those who lived there. Air, land, sky, water. . As time passed, the land was occupied by the colonisation of Sydney harbour. A place that then was defined through trade, the mercantile. Imprinting the edge through utilitarian arms of wharfs, the pier was defined as one that serviced the growing city. . 2020 our understanding of this place is now defined through a pier that bleeds into a promenade whose hovering piled structure is concealed by a new landform, a new edge returning its use to the civic. . The genealogy of the seaside pavilions coming out of the Victorian era popularized the ‘pleasure pier’ typology, a manufactured landscape suspended between sky and water. A fantastical setting dominated by the ornate and exotic architecture of these seaside palaces, amazing and entertaining the littoral vacationers. . Thank you to Infrastructure NSW, competition convener Stephen Varady and the jury for their consideration of our proposal. . It was excellent to be joined in Stage 2 by @durbachblockjaggers @retallackthompson @bohanejohn @lukepigliacampo and congratulations to @spresser who is the Stage 2 winner. . 📷 : dougandwolfviz . . . @muirarchitecture @_openwork @sarahlynnrees @jcbarchitects @scottcarver_australia @wsp_australia #sydney #designcompetition #architecture #landscape #landscapearchitecture #cities #urbanism #urbandesign #pierpavilion #infrastructurensw #barangaroo #barangaroopierpavilioncompetition #architecturecompetition #sydneyharbour @stephenvaradyarchitecture (at Barangaroo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJISeorlceX/?igshid=gposko6bpmks

2/3 This is the Stage 2 entry by MUIR+OPENWORK+SARAH LYNN REES for the Barangaroo Pier Pavilion Competition. For this stage, we were joined by Doug Southwell from Scott Carver and Phil Gardiner from WSP. . The pavilion stands as a nod to the times past and the future use of this place. . This is a place that is for celebrating the fantastical. An ornate interior. The view up and out. The shadow cast. A shadow defining the ornament of place. And it’s living memory. . A place that responds to the value of place. The western aspect towards the headlands. An unencumbered view. An unencumbered outlook. An unencumbered place a. A place that shimmers and shifts. Robust yet delicate. . Thank you to Infrastructure NSW, competition convener Stephen Varady and the jury for their consideration of our proposal. .

3/3 This is the Stage 2 entry by MUIR+OPENWORK+SARAH LYNN REES for the Barangaroo Pier Pavilion Competition. For this stage, we were joined by Doug Southwell from Scott Carver and Phil Gardiner from WSP. . Singular in its appearance as an object on edge. Land that hovers and defines its place through occupation of the new. A space that is occupied through a defined ground plane that therefore celebrates the ceiling above. A projected light defined through a patternation. The night sky and Hawksbury sandstone formations. Ornament. . A single material applied to define ceiling, roof, ornament. Structure as ornament, ornament as structure. Every part contributes to the greater whole. A formed object as much as an assembled structure. Stainless steel tube and plate define column, roof, light penetrations, bracing, drainage and wind breaks. . This is not about assuming but rather providing a framework for engagement with Gadigal. The concept is intended to allow those who enter to form their own memories, bring their own interpretations. The design represents an imagination of opportunity. Place. .
