Designing in sensitive environments

摘要

We have been designing cultural tourism facilities both here and overseas for a number of years. During this time visitation has grown at extraordinary rates. Stonehenge receives 1.58 million people each year while the Architecture Biennale in Venice receives 600,000. Both are UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites of great sensitivity. Closer to home, the business case for the Shepparton Art Museum predicts growth of 10.6 per cent, while the Twelve Apostles has 1.2 million visitors, contributing $190 million to the economy.
