wk10> consideration of broader site strategies


We reinvestigated where the building should be positioned on the site. While it was fine to have the folie wedged within the cliff due to its small size, we identified the identified the possibly of moving our proposal away from the cliff face. Andy saw the potential this had in terms of interaction with the bikeway, while I supported the move do to the very notion of the project: that is, impermeability and motion. To have our proposal wedged and essentially stuck in between a rock would leave us in a hard place in terms of developing the volatility of the building. (terrible pun but I couldn't resist!!!).  We have shifted the building closer towards the river -in fact almost on the bank - but still roughly in line with the placement of the previous folie design so as to continue capturing the views down the river towards both the city and kangaroo point.
