Final concept design 3 - This will be the final design of the folie. Its play with triangulated walls at various gradients, enables for the cliff faces to be relected effectively. This tiangulated design also allows for the folie to be enclosed at the back, whilst also opening up to produce magnificent views back towards the river and city. It houses both the viewing space (open) and reading space (enclosed) cleverly, by creating a sense of delight and a unique spatial quality for the user. 
A more developed design involving an example of how the triangular walls will be used at the back of the structure.
Further development - sectioning off the folie from the site. More triangular forms added to the structure.
New design developing. Noticeable difference is the removal of the spire and concentration on enclosing the back space of the folie. 
Final Concept Sketch 2 - Triangular form utilised, which has the ability to house two specific functions. The view is opened up to the viewer with the angulated walls also. But, the design of the spire seems to be purely aesthetic now, it has no functional purpose. Also more detail needs to be drawn to enclosing the space away from the site. New design to develop from this...
The design is larger to incorporate split functions. The form is very angulated and reflective of the cliffs gradients, creating a solid site context. Although I am questioning the use of the spire (because main material will be concrete - which is best under compression, can be self supportive) 
A developed proposal from what is below. Triangular shapes are more predominant within the design, although the space still needs more functional detail. It has occurred to me that only one functional space is not sufficient for the concept. Add a viewing space to the existing reading space. 
Conceptual final sketch 1 - including the tension spire and triangular skeleton design. Not convinced by the design as it looks too much like a bus stop. Functional spaces need to be addressed, so it can be developed. The shape and use of triangles is encouraging. Continue to design....
Rough sketch showing the interior elements of the folie. The tectonics of the structure can be seen from the internal space. 
Sketch shows how the design grows from the ground and encloses the user.
Developed Elevation - more detail considered to the back of the folie structure. The essence of protection from the site is seen. Enclosed skin is used to block easy access to the structure.
Developed elevation - more focus on opening up the view to the user. Angular design is beginning to form. 
Elevation - showing the experimentation with triangular forms within the skin - developed from the cliff faces. A spire has been utilised to form tension in the structure.
Folie fits within the 5m by 5m by 5m restriction.
Preliminary sketch - basic orientation and shape developed, growing from enclosed form and opening to the views of the Brisbane river.
