Model 1 - The two main materials I want to point out here are the plant walls and the sandstone walls. They're both materials that recall different parts of the Sydney I know - the plant wall being inspired by the vertical gardens at Central Park Mall, which is a go-to hangout spot for me and my friends; and the sandstone wall reminding me of the cliffs around the coast and beaches of the eastern suburbs, particularly La Perouse, which I often visit with my family in the summer evenings.
Model 2 - Here, we have three materials - Orange roof tiling, sandstone blocks, and a bas-relief from Angkor Wat. These materials are drawn from the temples (or 'wats') in Cambodia, with the sandstone and bas-relief from the historical Hindu temples of Angkor and the orange roof from the modern-day Buddhist pagodas that dot the Cambodian landscape. Thus these materials were chosen with the intention of reflecting my cultural background.
Model 3 - Finally, this model's materials consists of various ancient Egyptian tomb art. The image on the left wall is a particularly distinctive one for me personally - after all the books I scoured as a kid I could recognise it anywhere, being from the burial chamber of Tutankhamun. These materials were chosen to reflect my interest in ancient history.
