Paris / La Villette assisted me in the clarification of the term "Folie" and provided an inspirational example of "discontinuous, dislocated, dismantled, disjoined, deregulated deconstructed and disassociated architectural sculptures designed by the architect Bernard Tschumi (Bure, G. 2008). The image below demonstrates Tschumi's artistic incorporation of landscape and structure to create an amazing display of architecture influential to my design.*

The discussion of Tschumi's work sparked an interested in the idea of a 'Folie' and resulted in numerous searches for similar examples online. The following images captured my interest and may contribute to the ideas that flow from my initial design process. The thought of designing a structure that allows people to interact with it by climbing or standing on it seems like an appealing option.

Site Visit
This week a group of us went on a walkshop around the Brisbane city centre analysing the elements of the urban environment and taking a closer look at the Howard Smith Wharves. Below is a series of sketches on sticky notes that I recorded during my city walk on Monday. The route we took depicted an interesting journey across the city, revealing many hidden elements that could influence the projects design. Each of the sketches below depict some type of strong edge or frame to the site, such as the over powering presence of the Story Bridge. |
