Building Program

Based on the circulation patterns of the heart, the optimum number of program types is two distinct elements with a shared program as the third. Therefore it was decided that the following program will be used within the building:

1. Museum and Education Centre – shares information on the rich heritage and cultural importance of the site and its role in shaping Brisbane. Explores the principles of Biomimicry and how they can be applied in modern architecture.
   
   
   
2. Sporting Facilities – number of facilities that provide recreational opportunity for surrounding residential zones. Fundamental part of the creating a rich identity as it imparts a large amount of activity and movement within the building. Includes indoor sports fields, swimming pools, gymnasium, bicycle storage and ten pin bowling
   
   
   
3. Restaurant and Bar – gives a central program linking the museum/education precinct with the sporting facilities.
