Project objectives

THEME CRITERION

- Proposal of a future ferry terminal and mixed-use development:

Commercial, residential and entertainment.

- Scale and Icon

- Howard Smith Wharves renewal plan:

Short term accommodation
Restaurants/cafes/retail
Tourism node/public transport node
Commercial: offices/studios
Entertainment: gallery/theatre/recreation

CONTEXTUAL CRITERION

- Respond to contextual, geographical and digital issues identified in Project01A

- Develop an understanding on alternative contextual opportunities and parameters.

Materials, tectonics, forms, structures and the culture of the existing urban fabric are enhanced and extended into the design and development of a built environment
Proposal responds to the opportunity to expand the proximity, type and quantity of venues accessible via public transport, river and bicycle/foot.

DEVELOPMENT CRITERION

- Establish parameters in response to site analysis and investigations to allow a refined architectural resolution.

Flexible Architecture: the architecture is adaptable, transformable, mobile and interactive.
Conscious Architecture: the architecture intuitively and automatically adapts to change.

The architectural composition residential, commercial and entertainment venues, should respond individually and compositely to the dynamic conditions of the Howard Smith Wharves context.

IDEAS+INSPIRATION

-Designers make things... but these are not always the discrete things for which one gets paid. The simplest study can yield an idea, effect, or emotion. Printing, binding, programming, and building don't necessarily have anything to do with it. A designer's 'things' happen at every stage of a design process; they are always finished, and never finished."

-Michael Rock

-the mystery would only add a bit of cache to the proceedings

-The city has often been conceptualised as a living organism where different parts combine together in the formation of a single compound. In contemporary science the organic metaphor has primarily to do with the idea of an evolutionary system where the whole is the outcome that emerges from ever-changing relationships between single components out of an external coordination on the substrate of a network of links: the metaphor therefore unifies spatial phenomena - like city form - with biological, social, scientific, economic and technological systems. Because evolution only happens with change, systems that do not change are destined to decline and death by increasingly reducing their adaptability to external challenges

-Sergio Porta

-All buildings are predictions. All predictions are wrong

-Stewart Brand

-Ornament and the form should appear so intimate that the ornament seems to have determined the form

-Henry van de Velde.

-Yes is more

-Bjarke Ingels

-The connections to society, place and human experience - call it context - are exactly what make good architecture great. Those connections are also what makes architecture interesting to people who aren't architects
-Karrie Jacobs

-unremittingly science enriches itself and life with newly discovered useful materials and natural powers... with new methods and techniques, with new tools and machines

-Gottfried Semper
