Situated along Brisbane River, the site has a very
strong physical connection with water. There is also a historical connection
with water as the site was once a wharf and also briefly home to the water
police. Because of this I wanted some kind of connection to water.
After doing some brief research, I found that traditionally, water sources were a destination and a place of strong social interaction, in the 21st century, this is not so. With the improvement and modernisation of plumbing, communities no longer need to use a well or river to get their water, therefore, water is no longer a meeting place. This aspect relates to my goal of making the site a destination and enhancing the social aspects and identity of the site.
