Elevations

FOLIE CONCEPT development and REFINEMENT

Came up with Folie Design straight away, but decided to explore a few other options before refining this design


Exploring other concepts using the triangle as inspiration


Changing structural qualities of the triangle

Stretching and twisting the triangle

Concept is getting close, chose to stear away from a more vertical looking structure

CONCEPT REFINED

FOLIE Concept REfinement

CONCEPT REFINEMENT

The story bridge became the focus of my design. it creates a vital connection between Kangaroo Point, the city (CBD) and Fortitude Valley... The connection creates a triangle when viewed in plan...

Looked into traingles, their shape, geometrical qualities
- strongest geometrical shape
- tesselates
- story bridge is made up of triangles

Triangular connection evident in plan

Brainstorming concept

PARASITE Story Bridge.. CONCEPT triangle

This page finalised the direction of my concept! i knew at this point i wanted to emphasize the function of the story bridge

Initial Folie Concepts


Inspiration from Church of Light... could my folie design play importance on light?

Experimentation with stretching canvas, link to ships sails! Link between folie and story bridge (this sketch at the bottom of the page played a vital role in the direction i took with the folie design)

CITY Walk to Howard Smith Wharves

Images below demonstrate the analysis of brisbane square, roma street, and brunswick street. Key findings show relationships between public and private space, pedestrian vs vehicular traffic, and fundamental environment considerations


START: QUT campus Gardens Point via bike path under freeway, brisbane square, george street to roma street station, train to central, brunswick fortitude valley, to top of cliffs above wharf: END
