Engineers collaborate with architects

摘要

The newest ferry terminal to open in Brisbane since the destructive 2011 floods incorporates design elements to safeguard it from a similar disaster. The Milton Ferry Terminal opened in January and was designed by Aurecon and Cox Raynor Architects. The two firms were commissioned following their winning entry into a Brisbane ferry terminal design competition following the flood three years ago. Among the terminal's flood resilience features is the pier's base, shaped like a boat's hull, which allows floodwaters and debris to easily flow past.
