Green Square Aquatic Centre
By Scale Architecture
- Shortlist top 12 – Green Square Design Competition, City of Sydney 2014.
The Green Square Aquatic centre is a recreational city-in-a-city. A continuous canopy unites a cluster of pavilions under a single roof, defining the spatial character of the Aquatic centre with soft dappled light, while providing sun protection and climate control. These smaller pavilions, thoughtfully placed on a landscaped “plaza”, create a network of streets and laneways between programs.
The perimeter frames the sports field and park as a large green courtyard for the aquatic centre. It is an urban room with no ceiling, at once open to the city, yet intimate.
Instantly recognisable as a natural meeting place, it serves as a draw card and gateway for the precinct, activating the urban fabric and providing public amenity.
We envisage the Gunyama park and Aquatic centre as the recreational cornerstone of Green Square, setting a benchmark for sustainable design and development.
