Abstract
The aim of the project is to use architecture as a means to negotiate mans’ relationship with the land and sea, through the re-interpretation of coastal archetypes. The polysemic significance of the archetypes is manipulated as a means to re-organize previous associations with the aim of uncovering the sacred nature of the land-sea threshold. The project locates Millers Point as the new gateway to the Cape Peninsula Marine Park. Architecture is used as the means to create a social identity and frame the problems addressed by the Marine Protected Areas legislative principles. Necessary structures are identified as a means to establish or interpret a need for ‘Marine Park Infrastructure’. The design of such infrastructure is consciously portrayed architectuxally with specific reference to existing coastal archetypes.
