Flowstate is a 3000sqm urban renewal project which blurs distinctions between landscape and architecture, theatre and public space, and the performer and spectator relationship.
This visionary project was devised by South Bank Corporation as a mechanism to innovate public space and stimulate conversation about what a city can and should be.
Through an invited competition Stukel Stone were selected as the lead consultant to transform South Bank’s Arbour View Café precinct into a vibrant, 3-5 year long open-air pavilion and creative space. The other short-listed firms were Vokes and Peters and Bureau Proberts of Brisbane.
“Around the world, leading public precincts are constantly evolving and it is the Corporation’s role to oversee, adapt and transform South Bank so it remains relevant, desirable and exciting both publicly and commercially,”
South Bank Corporation Chair Dr Catherin Bull AM
The site was host to a year long cultural program of performances, installations and activation by companies including; CIRCA, Dead Puppet Society, Polytoxic, Out of the Box Festival, BlakLash Arts Management, and Liesel Zink.
The project was awarded the Great Place Awardby the Planning Institute of Australia in 2018
