As you approach the site , you capture a breath taking view of grandness and power, the story bridge set against the Brisbane River and blue sky (image below).
But, this grand feeling escapes you, as you enter the site. Instantly, one feels smothered within the vast abandoned space, with the towering bridge above And the surrounding cliffs enclosing the space. One becomes extremely overwhelmed and uncomfortable, developing a sense of minority within the space. One feels the need to escape/protect and recapture the grand, magical feeling of the site.
Person feels disempowered within the site, with the closing cliffs and towering bridge above.
CONCEPT:
My developed concept responds association with this site experience. "A shelter versatile. It is a place of protection, allowing people to escape their surroundings, whilst also allowing one to recapture past experiences."
The concept is seen through the air raid bomb shelters, in the site. They are an example of shelters which are a source of protection, successfully cutting people off from their surroundings. It allows them to be isolated, give them time to think and allow them to recapture experiences.
