Brief: Design a theme park that critiques the traditions of the theme park and related conceptual theories.

Critical Take: The landscapes and organisation of theme parks are separated into two entities- interiors and exteriors. The edge between the two creates a disjunction between experiences, visually signified by the entry and exit signs at each ride, delineating the start and stop of individual experiences and preventing experiential continuation within a theme park.

Design Statement: This critical take drove the research, analysis and design of the project, which explored how the interior exterior sequence operates and aimed to blur the edge between the two entities or possibly remove it completely.

With the spatial sequence of traditional theme parks now deemed redundant in terms of experiential continuation, a different theme park typology was sought to inform the new design. The reversed spatial organisation of interior and exterior spaces and contrasting sequencing patterns within skate parks, when compared with traditional theme parks provided strong design drivers for the new theme park design.
