IDEA 2 - Gathering Place
People normally communicate digitally these days. So this folie could be a gather place where people can talk, laugh and learn each other. Again with the idea of the site being the centre of number of suburbs, different suburbs are expressed in variety of shapes of solid material such as concrete or stone. Some can be carved down to the ground and some can be higher than the others and provide shades. Even the ground can be angled so when it rains, it will travel down between those folies and reminds of Brisbane River.
IDEA 3 - Remember what we are
We learn everyday, mostly from the history of our culture. We should remember that the site, Howard Smith Wharves took a part in development of Queensland, and not ignore it. Folie is very simple installation of head of a ship; located between the space of Story Bridge's leg. Reason for it is to imagine how would it feel like to travel under the bridge if Howard Smith Wharves was still in business.
Inside of the folie would look like this. Enclosed against the cliff and open towards the river for the views.
