Details: The NRI is inviting all local, national and international professionals and students from a wide range of disciplines including Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design and Planning to participate in the Design Idea Competition – Fairfax Harbour 2015.
This project aims to create visions of inspiring, innovative and sustainable concepts for the Fairfax Harbour. The intention is to create approaches for an adaptive area which can respond to the inconstant structures and conditions of change that affect the people in Port Moresby and the National Capital District of Papua New Guinea.
The project and competition outcomes are to propose a variety of development approaches. The designs therefore need to consider a range of timeframes – from short term to long term, temporary to permanent, and staged growth cycles – of the Fairfax Harbour.
The proposed design approaches are to address the interwoven traditional, social, economic, environmental and infrastructural attributes of Port Moresby and the National Capital District of Papua New Guinea. An integrated strategy is essential in order to design an innovative and sustainable vision for Fairfax Harbour.
