The Brief for Team 4

Tom reading out the brief!


Our brief for Site 7 is Embedding, Implanting, Superimposing.
Your site is displaying body-dysmorphic symptoms impairing its occupational and social function. Your challenge is to treat this condition.

You are required to implant activity that exposes the potentials of the site and allows for further growth.

You must consider the dynamics of time: eg. night and day, site conditions, seasons etc.

We wondered what body-dysmorphia might be ... a constant anxiety over self-perceived body 'defects' often leading to suicide.

Site 7 looks like (from 4 sides): It juts out in front of the Woolshed Pub, on Harbour Esplanade.

After receiving our brief, we headed to our site (not far from the Cow in the Tree) and chalked out the site boundary. On arrival we were greeted by a security person from the neighbouring building, we had a short chat about what we were doing there - our first interaction with a local.
We spent some time wandering about the site, exploring what was on offer there and started to dream of possibilities.
