This week the cohort completed a Walkshop of Brisbane City, in response to the lecture for the subject, Architecture and the City. This was also to be a definitive first step in the development of the first assessment - folie design for Architectural Design 5.
As an allocated group it was our duty to path an individual journey through the city to the final site - the Howard Smith Wharves. Whilst stopping at 3-4 different locations along the way, we analysed, deconstructed and recorded their existence through the application of The Kevin Lynch Theory (Image of the City) and the Gordon Cullen approach (The Concise Townscape), building a serial vision identifying;
- Paths
- Edges
- Districts
- Nodes
- Landmarks around the city.
The following urban landscape images were envisioned throughout the Walkshop.
Image 1: Botanical Gardens foregrounding the city of Brisbane
Image 2: Shading devices covering Eagle Street
Image 3: Towering buildings surrounding the Riverside Centre.
Image 4: Riverside Centre borders the Brisbane River and captures a grandview the Story Bridge
Image 5: Howard Snith Wharves is currently a construction site. The Story Bridge towers over the site, with the cliffs enclosing the space.
