This marker was built from the concepts of "Architecture as informed by the patterns of its inhabitants" and "Appropriation of traditional Japanese architecture through technological advancements in construction". Both concepts have been evolved to fulfill it's purpose as a marker.
While uninhabitable, the marker exists to inform motorists of the location of the Blacktown International Sports Centre, and is able to do so as it stands 12 metres tall from it's base on the phone tower location, allowing it to be viewed from both directions on the M7, as well as those who approach from the South-Western direction on the Eastern Road.
Originally, the base of the marker was inspired by ancient Japanese castles with their tiered construction. However, once transformed using the 'subdivide and smooth' artisan tool, the base took on a much more natural, smoothed-rock form, and was used as the base as it grounded the tall marker visually and provided a solid foundation. The marker further showcases 'technological advancements' within 'it's construction', by being built using a mixture of materials (concrete base, steel structure, wooden flange) as well as utilising a living wall on it's surface.
