Trigona carbonaria Louise McBryde Inspired by the social and environmental habits of the native bee Each element LOUISE MCBRYDE N8803064 “Hives of Activity: Designing the Nudgee Beach Environmental Education Centre” MASTERPLAN BOARD 1 - 1 JUNE 2016 of the masterplan is designed to add utility to the educational and environmental activities of the Centre and its staff and at the same time open the “hives of activity” to both the local Nudgee Beach residents and the wider community bycreatingwelcomingandactive spaces for all ages and levels of engagement. this project proposes a design masterplan which will integrate the disconnected and under-utilised spaces of the Nudgee Beach Environmental Education Centre by creating interconnected “hives of activity” both within and beyond the political boundaries of the NBEEC site. HIVES OF ACTIVITY Given the 20 year strategy for the implementation of the designelementsofthemasterplan, the impacts of climate change - especially changing water movements and levels and increasing temperatures- have been key considerations to ensure the long-term environmental sustainability of the site. In addition, the long-term social and economic sustainability of the site can be achieved as the design elements increase its usability, functionality and safety. Consequently, this masterplan encourages greater accessibility to, and awareness of the Centre.
