Currumbin Surf Life Saving Club (Currumbin Beach Vikings)

Source: Walkinonwater

1.0 Design Context.
The Currumbin Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) as a whole is a well-designed multi storey local club, due to its modern but ‘beachy’ looking design traits, which reflects the surrounding up market area perfectly. The club has a capacity to seat around 200-250 guests from its sports bar to dining area. The club is situated in a prime spot right on top of Currumbin rocks resulting in undisrupted views of the Gold Coast. 2.0 Design Analysis 3.1 External Design Features.
The club is constructed with concrete with the exterior of the club consisting of 3 colour blocks white, light tanned brown and dark green (representing Vikings). From the car park only the side of the building can be seen with top half Light tanned brown and bottom dark green. This colour scheme that can be seen from the car park does not look welcoming, as it is dark, boring and bold. From the beach and the ocean the whole club can be seen utilising the white paint on the external area where there is open plan windows and large balcony.

The Surf Club site is on Currumbin beach with the club structure expanded on top of the rocks giving the club a competitive edge over most other clubs as it the closest to the surf and has undisrupted views of the coastline. Joined to the club is a large tall rock called ‘Elephant Rock’ which has been utilised quite strategically as a look out, which is another unique asset for the club. Apart form this large natural structure the surrounding space is undisrupted as the houses and shops are across the road from the beach.

The general area of

    Clifford D. Simak City Analysis

    In the story “City” by Clifford D. Simak, it takes you through the struggle that the city was going through. Within the first two tales give you a great sense of when this book was published was during the year 1952. So, throughout the stories I could find that three pieces of direct evidence that Simak was trying to tie in the era of the book. The first is on page twenty with it saying, “The, city is an anachronism. It has outlived its usefulness. Hydroponics and helicopter spelled its downfall. In the first instance the city was a tribal place, an area where the tribe banded together for mutual protection. In later years a wall was thrown around it for mutual protection” (Simak 20). I found that what Simak is trying to deliver through this…

    Bra Boys - a Documentary Case Study

    Images are a complex communication tool – the intention of the creator and the interpretation of the viewer may not be harmonizing. While Bra Boys seeks to criticise their infamous reputation as an anti-social and law-breaking gang, the construction of the documentary has reinforced that dominant representation of the surf group. Sunny Abberton’s documentary of dissent, Bra Boys (2007) is constructed to critique the dominant representation of the notorious societal group – “Bra Boys” by telling the story from the point of view directly from the underbelly of Maroubra itself. The documentary attempts to utilise viewing conventions of selection of detail, symbolism and audio codes to portray “Bra Boys” as a constructive support framework of surfers but with deeper analysis, there is evidence that those codes effectively does both- reinforces and critiques the dominant representation of the surf gang. This is most evident in the retelling of the brawl between the “Bra Boys” and the police force.…

    Just Some Revision Notes That I Made About Past Exams and That? Might Be Useful : D

    From the article we learn that that the beach to city programme is run by the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) and also that they do good work as a charity which very little I known about them in some places. Their aim is to ‘educate children about the dangers of the seaside and how to stay away from trouble.’ They teach these skills to primary school children because it is said that they are highlighted as a ‘higher risk group’ who are most likely to be unaware of what the RNLI are about. The RNLI teach kids about keeping safe in the sun. They advise to ‘slap on a sun hat, slop on sun cream’ and ‘slip on a T-shirt’ to protect themselves from the sun. Furthermore the RNLI aim to make all their lessons memorable as well as enjoyable, they do these things by getting the kids to take part in play-acting and getting grips with equipment. Their sessions also focus on the use of public equipment (PRE), they do this by respecting and using life rings, throwing lines and emergency communication are very important to them in particular. The advice the PRE give is also aimed towards school children in London. They managed to visit 30 schools there. In the Future the RNLI education team aim to add a fourth city to the beach tour and plan to continue their work as well as adding more for the coming years.…

    Audience Analysis

    The main purpose of manifesting an efficient speech is to be able to connect with one’s audience. In order to do so, the presenter must analyze the demographics of said audience. The audience must be able to relate to the presenter’s speech. For instance, if the topic describes an argumentative concept such as abortion or gay rights, it would be best to provide viewpoints of each side. This way, those who are subjective to a particular point on either end of the argument, can relate to the topic more efficiently. For this audience analysis, we will use abortion as an example. If the audience is unaware of the topic, they will not be able to connect to it and will thus lose interest. The topic of abortion is relevant to any and all audiences because it is a well known controversial topic. Relevancy of the topic is critical for any directed audience for this reason. In order to truly create this relevancy, as suggested before, the presenter should describe either point of view, in this case those who are for abortion (pro-choice) as well as those who are against abortion (pro-life). There are enough websites, narratives, journal entries, and even directed sources that can be used to correlate either point of view. Using this method of evaluation, the audience will remain engaged. Subjectively speaking, PowerPoint presentations are highly effective in getting most topics across a generalized audience. This is due to the fact that PowerPoint presentations are well-known to the majority of people. Additionally, the use of graphs for statistics will be beneficial as well. In order to further engage the audience, the presenter should be able to use enough statistics as evidence of each contrasting point of view. These statistics are what compliment the argument and will provide the best method of comparison for the audience. The presenter’s speaking style should display a highly knowledgeable…

    Community Analysis

    CST 200 Dr. Kinefuchi Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation INTRODUCTION Peter Block created a solution for communities to restore themselves though knowledge and action so that people in the community have a structure for belonging. The community that is stuck is constantly addressing the negative of the world and the problems that need to be faced. Along with this Block explains that the people that have the most information about the community can place the fault on the reasons for being stuck to come to a conclusion. Reverend Nelson Johnson has contributed to the community with his information about the rally to become a leader and eliminate the source of fear. Argumentatively even though the community still faces huge counts of racism the process of this has helped Greensboro tremendously and is expanding which I will explain in more detail within the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission background. Block continues to explain how communities need to come together to allow problems to be resolved and transform into new united communities. With Greensboro having an issue with African American and Caucasian races clashing, the community needs to find solutions to resolve and rise from the crisis. Everything that the Greensboro has done has been a positive action, although not under complete control and resolution, toward transformation. This is why Block uses fraises to initiate the actions that need to take place as things that we focus on, things that we work hard on, things that we stay focused on, and things that we count on for the people to use their voice and unite the community. Block concludes with the thought of possibility over problem solving within transformation. A way to do this according to Block is to use and accept power and “in this mindset, one based on clear definition, prediction, and measurement, that prevents anything fundamental from changing. We still believe that in building a community, we are in effect building and…

    A Place Analysis

    I was raised in a small, but familiar town on the outskirts of Tallahassee known as Havana. A place where everyone practically knows everyone that lives there. My hometown upholds a sense of charm and southern hospitably in the atmosphere, with the many boutiques and restaurants for one to enjoy. However, I feel that it is a place where more mature individuals could appreciate (like adults), due to its historical nature. To be honest, other than going to school with my friends, as a child there really wasn’t much for me to do when the summer rolled in. Especially, since I was the only girl in a house with two brothers. In fact, majority of my summer vacation was spent at home, with my annoying brothers, “The Terrible Two”. Well, at least that’s what I called them, because they were always finding a way to make fun out of torturing me. From being hit by water balloons unexpectedly, to waking with burning lips from the hot sauce they put on them while I was sleeping, pretty much describes the “summer” moments of my childhood; at least the ones spent with brothers. Until, I suddenly had an epiphany, and begged my mother to let me stay with my grandmother while I school wasn’t in; or at least until she made it home from work. Of course she asked why; although she knew how much my brothers would tease me. She just told me it was there way of showing “brotherly” love, but she understood how annoying it could be, because she too was raised among all boys; in which worked out in my favor, because I no longer spent the summer’s home. She accepted my plea to be free from the “Terrible Two,” and Grandma’s house was to be my new location for summer vacation, which I enjoyed every bit of.…
