INDIVIDUAL PROJECT STATEMENT

Future senario, lifestyles, sustainability and possibilities: 

Due to technological advancement it becomes increasingly possible for work and communications to be conducted in various environments outside the office. This transformation encourages many businesses to be conducted virtually, creating a disconnection from the typical 9-5 working hours and social agenda that revolves around this. The fact that people would no longer be under pressure to commute for business would drastically reduce fuel emissions and traffic congestion issues that are currently troubling Brisbane CBD. Effectively the reliance on the CBD will begin to wilter, with vacancy in many commercial buildings being presented for future architectural possibilities. This presents the CBD with the opportunity to make way for a greater mixed use and more sustainable scheme, with the introduction of more affordable residential accommodation, entertainment facilities, services, transportation and green space.
Modular work spaces and cafe/restaurants will be implemented throughout the pedestrian friendly zones and now vacant car parks, that are conveniently connected with a new public tram line service. The tram line will eliminate the need for bus and vehicle transportation within the central district of the CBD, instead the tram will deliver its services to the outer circumference of the CBD allowing users to transfer to connecting bus and train lines to outer Brisbane districts.
Consequently the Victoria Bridge has the opportunity to be utilised as a pedestrian public parkland connecting the CBD directly to Southbank, creating a public interest and attraction that revolves around the Brisbane river.
