Concept and ideas - folie to program

CONCEPT AND IDEAS

- use shadows (from folie) as a possible informal way of teaching
- use light and shadows (from folie) to remind people of invisible people and their invisible presence on the site
- parametres = shadows, light and macro vs micro?
- macro and micro comes into it as i investigate how the site is composed of different elements and particles and small organisms, i hope this informs my metaphor, my concept further and the form
- i will utilise views -- views which I identified you can ONLY see and experience from this site, you must be on this site, occupying the space where the folie sits to enjoy those views...within the views are again small elements like sand and mangroves which are not usually present in brisbane
- issues i idenfitied include -->  needs shade, needs amenities, needs public/communal space, needs a ferry stop, needs disabled access
- when looking at particles i hope to find a sustainable approach that links these ideas and also will look at rock, sand, stone, water, wood and other elements and use these to form connections between built environment and site.


LEARNING SPACE IDEAS

Learning space -- so far i have been wanting to explore the idea of a retreat or a place with a strong connection to the water and the cliff.
Peter Zumthors Thermal Baths, Vals , Switzerland is my major source of inspiration.....this includes stone and water, also largely present on our site and is not so much just a public swimming pool nor is it a private spa retreat it sits somewhere in the middle.
Can i do something like this?
Or must it be more public, like a library - you do not need to pay to use the space?
At this retreat or in a space like it I guess in the long run you would need to pay and therefore the idea of public space is diminished?
- i like the idea of a library/coffee shop
- a space with ALOT of water being used, a coffee shop, vege garden, open space
- gallery

- so far i am having trouble finding a sustinable solution that includes this idea of particles or small pieces which form a larger whole....any ideas?
