Seating Spaces + Drainage

Due to the fact that I am proposing that this site be a relaxing area, a place for one to unwind from the busy city life, I want one to have the complete freedom and comfort to feel at home away from home. Therefore not restricting one to conform to certain regulations (paths, seating, views) but instead have a completely free mind frame allowing them to access and use the site in whatever way they feel comfortable.

That is why I am proposing different heights (achieved through contours) so that one can sit, sleep, relax and read a book on any position at any location. The use of grassy fields instead of fixed structures allows one to do so in comfort, therefore as shown below, you can see that any space can be used for relaxation/play according to one's liking. Views of the cliffe, Brisbane river and Story bridge have not been blocked in any way.

Example of intended and non-intended seating, comfort/freedom

However, I have noticed that there could be a lot of water retention after heavy rains in Brisbane that could lead to minor flooding on my site, which can make the area hard to use in some seasons. Thats why I decided to go back and make sure that all overland water flow directly back to the river, otherwise need to be catered for by drainage back to the river. Below are images/sketches of locations that I think would need some sort of assistance in the reduction of ponding that could occur after heavy rain periods. Some examples include the main stage, the under-bridge path, and the tunnel-like structure. This will also later on have an impact on the stage itself and how the roof will cater for these issues will be discussed in future posts.
