Pitch
In a world full of noise wouldn’t you love a place where you could truly relax. An inner city paradise where you can marvel at nature . A place that merges the natural world and the technological. A place that brings community together. A garden for everyone.

I believe this concept responds to the site and client brief because it activates the site by creating something that isn’t there and hasn’t been there. It’s a site that celebrates its aboriginal history. In my opinion it’s a completely unique concept for the city of Brisbane. Whilst there are many different public art works through the city and many community garden there isn’t one that is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of native plants and wildlife. A site that showcases different indigenous artwork and continually promotes and advocates for them. I think that the site will draw in people from diverse background because it will be a space that is all about inclusion. Visitor will want to come back time and time again because where else in the city can you watch an outdoor light show and art show whilst being in a comfortable park setting. Because the garden will be planted in raised garden bed from the reclaimed timber and the light show and projection is portable, the concept can be refreshed, adapted and relocated when the client wishes. It’s my goal that the art work is refreshed seasonally. It would be a site that doesn’t damage the environment but generate more flora and fauna to the area

The concept that I have chose to proceed with is an amalgamation of two concepts. I want to create a community garden which at night features a light show featuring aboriginal art. I want the garden to be plant native wildlife and herbs, such as; wattles (Acacia species), eucalypts (Eucalyptus and Corymbiaspecies) that dominate many ecosystems, along with commonly cultivated native plants such as lilly pillies (Syzygium species) and Callistemons (Melaleuca species). Queensland has over 8,99 native flowering plats species with new species being discovered every year. (Queensland Government,2017)
The garden will be planted in repurposed and recycled materials. The design of the garden will be so that from a birds eye view that garden looks like an aboriginal painting. I would like to consult with artists from the Turrbal tribe and get their advice and opinion on how the layout of the garden would like. I want the garden to tell a story of the place. I wouldn’t want to insult or disrespect anybody with this idea
As the sun sets on the city I would like there to be a light show and/or art projection. I want the lights to tell a story and to educate people about the native history of north shore. I want the art to be projected onto the old oil tank. I think that by revitalising and reclaiming the tank will allow visitors to ponder and question the history of Northside and the consequences its had on the local aboriginal community.
Even though she isn’t a Turrbal women Brisbane based arts Rachael Sarra has had her works shown through Brisbane. She said “ Art is a vehicle for change and conversation, as we tell stories through art and it talks to many different types of people… I think it’s the way of the future.” ( Hinchliffe,2019).
I totally agree with this statement. For the development site to be one of the future we need to embrace our past and embrace other communities. I strongly feel that by having artwork and community gardens combined it will allow us to teach future generations. To expand their world views outside their own.
I feel like this concept align with the clients brief. It is sustainable, creative and can be relocated. It will use technologies that a eco friendly and use materials that are already there. It is a project that isn’t based on monetary value but on giving back to community and creating a safe space for them to go to.

Brainstorm Bubble
Here is annotated version of my brainstorm bubble. I thought ling and hard about what concept I wanted to go with. I eventually settled on combing two.

Inspiration
When I was walking around the site I found myself asking questions like;
What is missing here?
What was here before?
How would benefit from this redeveloped site?
What are the parameters of the given brief?
How can I create a project that will change and enhance the area?
Once first glance at the site I felt like what was needed was some natural vegetation and greenery. It needed some space where people could come and relax. To enjoy the riverside, away from all the hustle and bustle of the inner city. To be able to watch the sun set over the buildings and drink all of natures glory.
With the brief in mind and the cost being what it is, I wanted to come up with a concept that would be temporary but also transferable. I wanted to create a concept that could be replicated and relocated. I also wanted a concept that would be ever evolving and never stagnant. I wanted a project that like that river was also changing.
Then I began looking at different sites around the world for inspiration on how I can uniquely bring together the indigenous history of the site, the colonial history of the site and the technology of the modern era. I began looking at the Field of Lights ( Tili Wiru Tjuta Nyakitjaku) in Uluru, Northern Territory. An art installation by Bruce Munro. A fantasy garden covering more than seven football fields, with 50,000 seeds of light.
The High Line park in New York City for me is one of the bests examples of renovating and gentrifying in the world. I began looking at how they incorporated the space that was already there and heightened it. They created many garden around the existed structure. Allowing the self-seeded landscape to bloom and blossom. The High Line’s garden aesthetic reflects the natural cycles of life and death and evokes feeling of being in a wild space. I would like to recreate this sentiment at the proposed site.
The High Line park also has an app that allows visitors to follow along throughout the park and find different plants. This is a huge inspiration for as I would like to create a temporary park that would be filled with traditional plants from the area. Plants that are unique to aboriginal culture. Plant that were used in cooking and medicine.

Observations, Reflections. Research of the site and client brief
1) Observations, reflections, and research of the site, client brief
Once first impressions that proposed site was a barren, dusty piece of land with a rich and complex history. There are relics from the sites former glory days of shipping and industry such as the tank, mooring bollards and salvaged wharf timber. I would like to incorporate these into the design of my project as they pay homage to the area which was vital in creating the narrative of Brisbane being the river city.
Another thing that I observed was the lack of natural vegetation and natural shade in the area. As a former resident of Northshore (Hamilton), I can attest that the lack of these vital things were a contributing factor in my leaving. I felt like it was always hot, humid and stuffy even with the river being right there. Whilst walking around I felt like I was in the middle of the desert. I feel like the area needs a whole vegetation revitalisation.
Whilst having a look at what else is going on in the area I noticed that there were many business's such as Northshore cafe, the tennis courts and the Grays Online warehouse. The biggest draw for many people to the area is the Eat Street Market. Built from 180 repurposed recycling shipping containers over several hectares, Eat Street Market is the gold standard for this project. It features of 70 traders, 5 bars, numerous shops and 1,400 car spaces. (https://eatstreetnorthshore.com.au)
A consideration for the project would be to create something that draws in the public and makes them want to visit even when the markets aren’t open. To create something that stand on its own and isn’t reliant on the passing traffic of the markets. I also want to think about the current residents of the area. Who they are and their backgrounds. I have attached a screenshot of the 2016 Census for Hamilton. According to the census a majority of the people living here are single people, mainly with professional careers, being born in Australia with either English, Australian, Irish and Scottish being the dominant ancestry. I found it interesting that Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander People make up only 1.0% of the population.
Prior to European settlement the people of the Turrbal language group lived in the area. The area was also known as a meeting ground. To meet and trade with people from other groups and share their knowledge. I feel like the area needs to become a meeting ground again. To have a place where people from all over and come together to share and trade stories. To have a place that is continually growing and ever evolving.
