BLOXAS + Chian Quah’s entry, A Place to Catch (SEA) Breeze, for the 2011 Brisbane Ideas Competition has made it to the stage of finalist and has been shared for your review. Additional images and a description after the break.
This proposal has considered the climactic condition and placement of Brisbane, within it’s geographical context. Brisbane city is located approximately 21kms inland from the nearest coastal edge. Subsequently it is starved of any significant retrievable, or recurrent, sea breeze. This, coupled with Brisbane’s unforgiving sub tropical summer humidity, was the idealistic catalyst for this design concept. Slender, sculptured towers range in height depending on their topographical location.
