The Sydney Visitor Centre we could see from the images is constructed out of a vasty variety of materials. I predict that it was partially constructed out of the bricks previously there and also on top of that there was the inclusion of modern brick work and introduction of new materials like glass and timber and concrete.
We could see the difference in the ages of the brick through it weathering. On the walls there is a very clear distinction between the newer and older bricks and they were put together to form the building.
Brick is then combined with materials like timber and concrete and glass in order to give it a contemporary look but at the same time blend into the buildings around the area of the site.
Bricks of this building is primary used for decoration through the quarter circular shapes on the walls. This presents it with a grand and monumental feeling as well as referring to the cultural and traditional atmosphere of the area.\
