SuperFlux6 Site 6
Our brief is as follows:

URBAN / PLASTI

REMAKING///

PLASTIC///

ARTIFICIAL///

The site is forever undergoing transformations, but there are still visible flaws.
Your challenge is to augment the procedure through a new program.
You are required to use a limited number of materials and forms to create a highly spatial outcome.
You must consider the dynamics of time.

We hit the ground running and made our way to site 6, on the corner of Bourke Street and Harbour Esplanade, Docklands.
The team then looked for visual triggers, geo-spatial dynamics and a Q&A with pedestrians. SuperFlux spent the morning exploring the brief and discussing the interplay of possible materials, concepts and ways to engage with the community and execute the brief. Themes began to emerge: Imersive, Tactile, Scale, Mirror, Illusion, Flow and Spatial.



After lunch, more planning and workshopping of our core concepts continued. Having spent more time on the site the overarching theme of "Flow" was chosen due to the large volume of both foot traffic and bicycle riders moving through our space.

The team is currently exploring the interplay of flow through the site, improvising structures and forms to determine the nature of the flow in and through our location.

The brief interpreted///
The site is forever undergoing transformations,(FLOWS (PEOPLE AND TRAFFIC), CONSTRUCTION) but there are still visible flaws (CHAOS, DISORDER, DISUNITY, DANGER, TENSION)
Your challenge is to augment the procedure through a new program.
You are required to use a limited number of materials and forms to create a highly spatial outcome. (OUR SPACE IS FORMED BY THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF ARMITURES AND ADOPTED PROGRAMS) You must consider the dynamics of time.
