Brisbane's historic & decaying Howard Smith Warves, provides an ideal location for design experimentation.

LIBRARY DRAWINGS 5 & 6


The image above is the building shown in a flood scenario.  If it flooded in Brisbane the Building could be used as a rescue/ resource point.  The back "Outdoor Social Area" could be used to hold rescue packages.  Boats would also be able to drop flood victims off in the building where they could retreat to safety via the external ramp.  (The Server room is located upstairs so that in the event of a flood it is less likely to be effected - ). A small generator would also need to be housed high up on the site to facilitate a small amount of power in case of a flood emergency.
This view is a perspective of the upstairs "Quiet Area." The Projectors can be seen displaying images on the Projection Wall. This is a flexible space where furniture can be changed and moved.
