Conceptual Imagery

Some images from the concept submission.

Feedback: Far too monolithic, a much closer urban analysis required to understand patterns within the landscape. Stating that I was avoiding the 'Bilbao effect', I have in effect created it with this proposal.
Next steps are to create a complex and functioning master plan, then select a section to focus upon. More research into the historical context of the site might be another avenue for success. Also avoiding objectifying the form and letting more sensitive forces shape the building may prove helpful.
Why convention centre? It may not be appropriate here, even though the client may want one. Further research into harbour interactions will be helpful for direction.
