In August there are plans afoot to have a design competition for Queens Wharf. Bloody good. Auckland City Council should have learned something from the Te Wero Bridge competition, and now we have Auckland Regional Council and Government involved in one for Queens Wharf. Should be fun. Councillors won't be allowed to put in entries. So I thought I'd have a wee play on this blog and put up a few ideas myself. I am building a Google Sketchup Model which will grow over the next couple of months. Here's a snap of it today...
I thought it might be a good idea to ensure there is really good heritage interpretation this time. Compared to what you don't get anywhere else much on Auckland's waterfront. So here's a walk in, sit in, look at the history, sort of structure. Found it on Google. Plugged it in here close to Shed 10. That concrete block ferry building addition is behind. The image you can see is a b&w photo of Queens Wharf as it was 80 years ago or so....
Here's the actual picture. More later.
