From the architect: We propose to embrace this agenda by incorporating the multiple interests surrounding the site to create an inclusive architecture – a seamless merging between the city and the gardens with a diversity of pragmatic yet exciting spaces for art in-between. Appearing as an extension of the city to the west and the pavilions in a gardens to the east, the Contemporary will enlarge both public realm and the Botanic Garden as an experienc in the ebbs and flows of hard- and soft-scape on its rooftops. To the north, the Adelaide Contemporary gently steps down in transition to the gardens and the Palm House. On the North Terrace, it will establish a respectful yet iconic presence with a public plaza and expanded entrance to the Botanic Garden. The Adelaide Contemporary will be a new breed of architecture as social infrastructure and culture bearer across boundaries.
