Project Vision

2. Part of spotlighting art is
giving it space.
Part of engaging community is
showing the broader community
that Redland city is unique.

3. Vision Statement
The creative vision for Ignite Redlands and
The LIghtHAUS my projects is to create an
annual light festival and architectural
competition to invigorate and activate a
depleted retail precinct and disused public
space on the harbor foreshore in Cleveland
,Redlands City. By developing a model to
activate the creative class and art community
to contribute to a festival and invigorate
public space both in a short term model with
art based practice within a festival
framework and long term with the
construction of The LIghtHAUS and its
community usage. With these initial concepts
it is hoped that through community
consultation and feedback that we are able to
grow both design aspects annually to create a
must see destination and an engaged
community.

4. THE LightHAUS
Objective
To conduct a
Design/Architecture/Sculpture/Public Art
Competition.
The competition is to design of a free
standing limited life pavilion to be used as
both public interactive space and for
visual/creative arts and performance
events.

5. This idea is inspired by the principles
developed in the Charter for
Queensland Places, and the seven
principles outlined therein
. Our places embody our values and
our uniqueness
. Our places are for people and about
people
. Our places are ecosystems that we
respect and nurture
. Our places value our natural
landscapes and waterways
. Our place experiences are enhanced
by what
we build and the spaces within and
between
. Our places are connected,
accessible and
contribute to the surrounding
neighborhoods
. Our places are shaped by design,
our shared responsibility and our
management

6. It has also been informed by the visionary
structures developed by Arne Quince,
Kevin Carmody, Urban Art Projects, Shane
Thompson and all architects and artists
that contribute to place-making to harness
community change and invite community
involvement.

7. Description
The competition is Australian. It is
open to architects, students of
architecture, Sculptors, Public Art
designers. The subject of this
competition is to design a
pavilion/space to be used as an
interactive space for the public and
as an exhibition space for creative
arts events.

8. The design is to have a life span of at
least a year and be constructed with
a limited budget to council guidelines
for public dwellings.
This under utilized public area would
allow the design to enhance and
engage this space in the heart of
Cleveland, between Bloomfield Street
commerce area and the Raby Bay
foreshore precinct.
This area is a more municipal space,
importantly neutralized from
significant commercial pressures and
one that allows for creative processes
to unfold.

9. Location
The pavilion would be located in
Cleveland within the Raby Bay
foreshore. The pavilion would be free
standing, easily accessible from many
points, with surrounding space for
public viewing.

10. Outcomes
A winning design to be constructed
by local government with sponsorship
from business, the LightHAUS may be
used for events from creative to
visual arts to performances for and
by the community, but also by invited
professionals, on an ongoing basis.
Its immediate impact is to give
Cleveland a hub or centre of
community that will stimulate the
process of bringing life to Cleveland.

11. Ignite Redlands
Objective
Light Art Festival
The development of a 3 day art based festival
with the theme of “light”. The festival will
encompass series of arts activities based around
both visual light and physical lightness. The
major art activities are a twilight art market,
living light art gallery and a nightly light art
parade through the main street Bloomfield street
in Cleveland.

13. Location
The location for the festival will be
based along Bloomfield St the main
street in Cleveland. Bloomfield St will
be closed to traffic for the 3 day
festival this will allow for public travel
through the space unencumbered
and will naturally direct them from
the main retail precinct down to the
harbour foreshore.

14. Outcomes

arts activities based around the theme of “light”
to reinvigorate and highlight Cleveland Village.

15. “The night time city will be painted with acrylic paint
containing phosphorescent pigment onto a material
that will line a back and side wall of the shop or the display
window. When viewed under a blue light the paintings will glow-
in-the dark.” Sue Beyer

projects due to the diverse nature of each
concept.
