Lost Identities // Cahill Expressway Circular Quay Terminal
This studio was part of a group of tutors, who inserted the meaning of metropolis in a range of different scale projects.
The purpose of our group was to re-imagine the defined structure in the Sydney harbour and to propose a different way in which this project could have been conceived and still could have.
The studio took as an argument the fact this TERMINAL is located in one of the most dense public spaces in Australia, making from this a well-known discussion case about its necessary transformation.
As a consequence, my team decided to accentuate its physical meaning towards the city. A city that it is unable to look at its own sea. We took this as an advantage, because even though this infrastructure does not cooperate gently with the defined grids of the city, it holds a defined character which cannot be avoided nor destroyed. Instead, it can be enhanced, accentuate, magnify.
For this reason, we took this concept as our driver, by the creation of a critic to this infrastructure demonstrating this case could be reconceived in way that responds to a world of constant change, to a metropolis.
