ARCH1202 Project 1 - Poster

With all the contents of the concertina books being hand-drawn, the posters were also being drawn by hand for coherence.

Parramatta seems to be straight-forward and well organised with its grid-like streets.  However, when walking along the streets of the place, one could notice that it is a place full of contrasts and combinations, with buildings of different heights and era clustered together.  This notion is enhanced further with different kinds of cuisines being available in restaurants along the same street, which is Church Street.




In the posters, this observation is being highlighted by including fragmented shapes and views of the city.  The historical maps show how Parramatta has evolved from its earliest settlements to the grid system nowadays as more and more people began to settle in Parramatta, especially after the completion of the railway.
