SITE REMINDER

So here is the site that I decided to focus on after the analysis expressed in my pitch for the design approach. Currently it is the export park precinct, but minimal attention has been paid to this site. To increase revenue and local businesses, I am aiming to maximise cargo import and export at Brisbane Airport. This will aid surrounding industrial areas, as well as enabling BNE to be the cargo capital of Australia.

The site shown below shows the area I am focusing on (in red) within the entire BNE landscape. As you can see, it is a very large site which allows for expansion in the future:

From this site I am planning on designing the Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal at the base of the current light aircraft runway, which will be used instead to taxi the larger cargo planes to and from the terminal:

Because of the size of the planned building, it will almost match the current scale of the domestic and international airports. This provides a distinctive path between buildings, aligning the terminals, and allowing for a series of connection between the three buildings.

crappy thing
