Week 10 - Narrative

Aims

To write up a narrative of a child's experience from start to finish through your facility. From arrival through till the end. It doesn't have to be long, but should be descriptive around what they see, hear, feel, touch and experience moving to and through your facility.

Narrative - first attempt

As the sway of the ferry comes to a stop at the pier, glimpses of an impressive structure can be seen peeking from  lush green trees. The slightly winding pathway leads to an building, it's big, and the front of it has a bendy wave tipping forward. Staring at the entryway, one can crane one's neck back as far as they can to look up, feeling like they're completely engulfed by the building. The wavy ceiling (roof?) looks like the waves in the water!. The entry facade seems like a wall of glass. Stepping inside the entrance room with double roof height, the first sight is the information desk. From here there are two options. to the left leads to the first exhibition room ("survival of the fittest" - [need to change/refine]), to the right leads to indoor screening space. The two rooms is ... conjoined?

To go to the second level there is a wide and slightly winding set of stairs, looking as if it's suspended from the air! Taking in the view of the Brisbane river through the glassed wall as they trek up the stairs one step at a time, they enter the second floor. Immediately one can see a dining area, encased in transparent glass. There is also an area for people to eat outside. To the left there is a brightly colored wall with painted arrows, spilling onto the floor, the arrows point to an entry way. where does this lead to? following the arrows one walks through a very small hallway with twists and turns... eventually opening up to a big room ~ a mini train circles around the room and makes pit stops for people to get off and play. (can change to outdoor, similar concepts). Leaving the playing room in the other end of the space though a simple portal (wording edit) leads them back to  central area of level two. Stairway to the third level is accessible to the ahead to the left or back to the dining area to the right.

At the top of the stairs which leads to the third floor, there's this huge open entryway. You can see that it's dark inside but there are lots of glowing and light emitted from big screens. Walking into the room one notices that the walls are slightly rough to the touch, a curve wall divide up the room ...

slowly notice the gradient lighting which gets brighter the further one travels down the room. From here,
an info-mural walkway (informational/informative mural) which slopes up leads an outside space! the whole area is filled with plants.. some [I] recognise, some are strange and unfamiliar. There is a  footpaths to guide throughout the area, stopping at particular areas where certain plants are emphasised with plarks of info... some lead to resting areas... we can even help water the plants using colorful water buckets.

Other people are also visitng this place walking down from the stairs which lead up to the park (Wilsons outlook reserve).
