Can’t you hear the wind on the water, the rustle of the leaves, the flapping sails?
The wind doesn’t like your daily routine, your boring schedule, your busy life, that’s why she rips straight through your belly. We can hear what she’s saying…Come out of that stuffy air conditioned office and consider yourselves lucky, how good is it to have the sea breeze filling up your lungs!
What are we beginning to understand about our site?
What do we know about the world?
- how good relaxation is for health
- the need for a healthier way of life within the city
There are more than a few things we want to achieve...
- connecting the daily grind of the city, to the seaside
- providing alternative experiences to the normal working day and the coldness of city life. Yeah we know you are at work, but why cant you sit back and enjoy it?
- Chance meetings and playful interactions
- Highlighting colour and joy of natural elements.
- Vertical interactions, stitching the surrounding buildings to the public environment, the human scale, through the thread of human interaction
- Escaping confines for the fresh air outside, taking a moment to breathe within our site.
- Harness the framed site views, taking a moment to stop and enjoy what’s in front and above you
- Discovering senses through natural elements
We are investigating the idea of breath and breathing. Not only for our site but for the Docklands precinct as a whole. We want to breathe life into Docklands and use our site as a vehicle to demonstrate this. This idea of breath sits well within our site. A thoroughfare between office buildings its extremely windy, air passing through. We want to drag people between Bourke St and the Harbour Esplanade through our site. A transitory space, drawing people in, a breath.
