This is what the drawing looked like before water colour rendering. The lines that haven't been removed after rendering are mutually there to show evidence of tracing and mapping of the site. I also chose to draw it at 1:1000 in order to show more of the surrounding environment.

I used different shades of black to represent two of the concepts based on THRESHOLD and INSERTION. They are both used like a colour chart for example, for threshold I began with a lighter tone of black at the lower contours and made them darker as the contours increased in height. For the buildings they were also representing both Insertion and Threshold for example, the closer the building was to the site, the darker shade of water colour. Though at the same time taller buildings were coloured a lighter colour so to help gain an understanding of a 3rd dimension in plan view.

The red watercoloured buildings and space in front of the beach are to represent the most important public spaces near the site. They are also the hotspots of the town, meaning they are the places that people visit most even on weeknights. Coogee Bay Palace is apart of Coogee's history and the iconic dome is of great value to the suburb and is a feature that I'd like to incorporate into my design at a later stage.

Due to time restrictions I wasn't able to complete this drawing in watercolour. Originally I was going to use the different shades of black to represent different areas where trees are placed and keep the buildings lightly coloured to question the idea of the dominance of landscape over architecture. Hatchings were also going to be used to represent and map out the different infrastructure on the site, eg roads, carpark, food, pathways, commercial buildings.
