Site Visit
After the tutorial a small group decided to go visit the site. Here are a few pictures.
Queen Street is a popular attraction well know for its retail, mostly due to it's central location.
Numerous historical buildings are still used, however few are given light to.

Burnett Lane is primarily used for deliveries. Brisbane City Council have invested in developing a laneway revival with new bars located in the laneway.

Brisbane has numerous historical protected facades many of which have little life. Most of facades are decaying reducing what is left of Brisbane's history.
I found an interest to the vacant site off Elizabeth Street. Looking at the space itself I started to think of possible capabilities. The architecture firm Herzog De Meuron has done numerous works integrating heritage and modern uses.
Here is some of their work

River Tunes / Hamburg
