The site for our folie is the Howard Smith Wharves situated below the Story Bridge. The Howard Smith Wharves were constructed in the 1930's in conjunction with the Story Bridge. The site also hosts several WWII air raid shelters which are the most intact group of shelters remaining in the city (http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/). With such important historical artefacts within and above the site this plays a very key role in defining the site.

After analysing a stretch of the Brisbane River using Lynch's principles I have now analysed the Howard Smith Wharves precinct, our location for our folie. While analysing the site I have taken into consideration activities that took place pre-flood and also the planned redevelopment of the site by Brisbane City Council. This planned re-development can be viewed at http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/.
