Through this week we resolved the concept behind the design and were struggling with locating the Folie. Why? The context is there but the uses of the space and how people transit the site is rather an unknown territory and we can only assume that the site is going to be reinstated as it was previously pre-2011 floods.
By assuming this we had identified the edge of the site where it links all three districts, Fortitude Valley, City & Newstead together. This would be a great position due to the proximity of the city and demand.
By proposing the Folie where it is situated it will create a defined area where "learning" folies can be created in unison. This Folie will be the first of several installations. In the not too distant future we will install other sensory experimental Folies.
As this is only a concept we agreed to keep it very minimal and open to suggestions. Renders are kept to a minimal but enough to have a sense of scale and the materials installed. This is to develop the users understanding of the concept proposed.
This is our constructivist stab at it trying to tie it to the story bridge whilst maintaining geometric shapes both aesthetically and functionally.
