Concept development for DAB510

I've drawn a lot of inspiration from the below images as I believe they are a lovely solution to the core aspect that my design is going to give the Brisbane community... basically the feeling, sound, taste, smell and feel of peace at a point in the city where opposing forces meet. Flood could meet tsunami. Work ends and leisure starts literally for many inner city workers and students. Culturally the site has lived through WW2,ancient Aboriginal secrets, and ceremonies and where the land meets the river. And so when people settle down here I am really wanting it to be because it is a place they like regardless of what stage of life they are in. All can come in, chill out and rest.

I am particularly drawn by this walkway interface. I could maybe look at how the water splats up against the cliff and use a similar concept with my outdoor space provision... food for thought...
