As part of the 4000 Ideas Brisbane City Design Competition, sponsored by Brisbane City Council, Brisbane’s future architects have been asked to create a design concept for the site of Brisbane Metro’s new Cultural Centre station portal.
The annual competition celebrates young architectural talent, generating new design ideas for Brisbane. This year the competition attracted many creative concept pitches, which range in scale and building purpose.
The site in question, currently a vacant slice of land between South Bank Train Station and Grey Street, will house a new state-of-the-art underground Cultural Centre station as part of the Brisbane Metro project.
Designs and ideas by QUT and UQ architecture students are competing to win a top prize of $3,500. There will also be a People’s Choice award category, which will be decided here on BrisbaneDevelopment.com.
Council will procure the design and construction of the new station through a collaborative partnership with industry. The proposed ideas from the competition are welcomed, but will not form part of Brisbane Metro project.

voted 5D – seems like there are less places for any unwelcome lurkers, squatters and loiterers to hide.

I voted for 9 because it is the only one that is practical, aesthetic and realistic. Integrating greenery on the building is very forward thinking as it can have environmental benefits and can be a pleasant place for social interactions in dense urban areas.

“Work of art has been performing in the role of pearl to illuminate human culture. Masterpiece, in other words, evokes intensity of
emotion that reinforce sympathetic response. Water, sunshine, air and soil are indispensable components in human activities
and they have laid foundation for the public realm which evolve modern Civism.”

Great submissions all around. I voted for 3G – Realm of Water because it links areas beyond the site with the use of the bridge to cross the street and it’s elevation at the rear links to the train above which would allow for an extension of the platforms at the adjacent station. In my view, our patchwork public transit must integrate efficiently to best serve us, the customers and a design which draws pedestrians, trains, and metro together is tops for me. Aside from that, I also appreciated the free flowing but covered space on the ground level.

My vote is for 6 Playground as I see the structure to be innovative, organic and not intrusive to its surrounding landscape.
