Folie Design Week 4

This project involved an artistic endeavour to design a functional space. The Folie was to be a simple architectural installation with a function. The design ended up being a lookout to draw people to the site. Inspiration was taken from spider webs in this design. This inspiration was considered appropriate due to the old, historical feel of the wharves. The installation catches views and people just as a web captures insects.

Walk Shop Week 2

For this activity we proceeded to walk from the QUT campus to our site underneath the storey bridge on the Fortitude Valley side. We started initially heading to the Goodwill Bridge before heading back along the river past the gardens and on to the bridge. Our aim was to identify nodes, boundaries, districts,landmarks, monuments, limits,edges and memorials.

From this activity a further understanding of the components of a city was developed and the city of Brisbane was analysed down into its basic components. From the findings it can be seen how in a city, the nodes,boundaries,landmarks,memorials,edges,paths and monuments are important elements and a strong factor in giving a city its unique feel.
