LYFE
The proposal of the introduction of LYFE as a civic centre on Goat Island revolves around the past, the present and the future of our city, our country and our world. LYFE aims to educate visitors on the importance of sustainability through workshops and programs, all hosted within the transformed spaces on the island.
The materials used throughout both the internal and the external spaces play an important role in the initial responses from the visitors when entering the island. This is achieved through the substantial use of plants, mainly explored through the main arrival point, greenhouse restaurant and heritage gardens.
The lessons to be taught in sustainability continue to be explored through the cradle to cradle process of materials, where old materials are given a new lease on life and are reused somewhere on the island; found mainly in the Ship Repair Workshop turned Swim Centre, and the Heritage Cottages, connected to the Heritage Gardens.
