Griffith School of Engineering and Built Environment students have reimagined the real-life Kangaroo Point Green Bridge project for an intense 12-week design challenge to turn their idea into something that could be constructed.
Over 70 Bachelor of Architectural Design students created and communicated their vision to guest judges from Archipelago Architects, KIRK, COX Architects, the firm which worked on the actual project and Brisbane City Council.
Griffith lecturers challenged students to design the bridge with a subtropical landscape connecting Kangaroo Point to Brisbane’s CBD and included an amphitheatre, public lookout points and space for commercial tenancies as part of their design proposal.
Guest judge Dominic Powell from Archipelago Architects, who was involved in the Home of the Arts Green Bridge across the Nerang River, says he was impressed with the quality of student’s work.
