Folie Design

After Visiting the Howard Smith Wharves, the site has the following features.
- Riverside are with low topography
- Unerneath the Story Bridge
- Cliff facing to the Brisbane River
- Cliff is coverd by vegetation
- Darkness under the bridge
- Not too noisy

The Howard Smith Wharves has a great geographical advantage. It has great views of Bribane river and city from the cliff. So I want to seize this feature for my folie design. As I know, some birds nest on the cliff, so I think the folie can be designed as a bird's nest for rest and enjoy those nice views.

Walkshop

In week two, we navigate Brisbane starting from our uni and completing the journey at the Howard Smith Wharves. We were walking through George street and survey the scenery along the way. And then we turned to the Ann street and had a break in front of the City Hall. We took the bus to the Chinatown. We walked through the Chinatown and finally we arrived at Howard Smith Wharves. Here are some sketches and photos from the walkshop.
