Developing the Concept

To create a new identity for the site, the building must become a physical being with people movement becoming the action and energy required for it to function. The site becomes a physical conductor to these processes and the creation of identity is strengthened through strong visual connection and physical connection to surrounding suburbs. The attachment of symbolism creates strong grounding and uniqueness to HOWARD SMITH WHARVES.

Things to be looked at for a biomimicry exemplar

• the movement of people making connections and linkages


• metabolism of the human body


• moving through the building in an effective way - CIRCULATORY SYSTEM


• different parts staying seperate but working together - BODILY SYSTEMS
