Funky Proposals for Northerly Island

funky plans for Northerly island:

Plan 1


Plan 2


Plan 3


Plan 4



Crazy Funky in my opinion, my thoughts:

  • 1st image from the 1st project is gorgeous, this proposal could do really well in the long term, by setting up an armature around which natural systems could evolve
  • The barrier reef idea is ambitious and would create a great respite from the city at that distance from the original shore, but cost makes this least likely
  • The 3rd seems least costly, and large dunes could be mighty picturesque
  • I love the "a" "g" "o" and the pier created by the "h", but not a cursive fan.
If someone correctly guesses which one was designed by Studio Gang, you don't get a prize, but get my R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

And maybe you'll find out what that means to me

also, what intrigues you/befuddles you about these ideas.
Seeing as the city has asked what would you like dislike about each, as no one proposal will be implemented solely
