Week 8 - Transitions

Integrating the Learning Center into the Existing Site

The integration of the learning center to the site comes under investigation. It is illogical to assume a site for the building without assessing future impacts. The programs for the learning center reads a story of Howard Smith Wharves and of Brisbane as a whole. Similarly the integration should also be a journey.

Building against the cliffs, the users journey can begin from a Top-Down or Bottom-Up process, enabled through a rooftop garden as part of the outdoor exhibition space, a space which integrates the existing (site) and the learning center

.An exemplar is shown below:

The entryway to the rooftop garden is through a set of stairs. Appropriate this function as the Learning Center cannot exceed the height of the cliffs. Wilson Outlook Reserve will provide a platform which would enable this.
