Green’ Link with Temporary Pavillion Installed
Terraced seating in amphitheatre form has been designed as a place for city workers to stop for lunch and will allow the public to have prime viewing opportunities for events that occur on Sydney Harbour such as Vivid Festival and new years eve fireworks displays in addition to events that would take place on the new public square. The designed square is large enough to cater for a vast array of events that would attract thousands of additional visitors to Sydney every year.
Within the new ferry terminals are function spaces that cantilever out over the Harbour in addition to new restaurants and cafes that will enhance the usability of this incredible site on the Harbour.

The fact is, something needs to be done and something is going to be done to the Cahill Expressway and IRISstudio’s proposal demonstrates the ability to be sensitive to existing structures whilst satisfying the city’s needs through making design decisions that consider both short and long term strategies for the city whilst providing the greatest benefit the greatest number of people.
