The River


The rivers relationship to the site is difficult to define.
Its slow winding arcs through brisbane and beyond are pivotal to the shape and future growth of the city. along with its historical relationship with the site when the wharf was active.

But, looking at how people use the site for transition and travel, the river is ultimately an obstacle.
A natural beauty, and a national icon, but for the purposes of this site, the river is an obstacle in which to circumnavigate.

on reflection, the river extends the time in the 'mental void'. the time between perceived spaces.
the extension of time in this void probably makes the feeling of transition more apparent and more effective. the longer the transition the longer one has to reflect and refresh. so the obstacle is not really a bad thing.
