Traditional boat building skills are now a disappearing art. The city's significance as a trading port goes back to maritime history. The building boat yard design will integrate space for a boat yard, workshop space, exhibition and classroom/teaching spaces, industrial history. At the moment the area is broken into 3 parts, the building, the pathway and the water. The boundary of the water near the building follows a straight line that slowly curves around creating no connection to the building, just flowing past. However, by breaking the straight line the flow will be disrupted and the movement around that area will be altered. By connecting the water and the building this will bring a new feeling of life and movement around the site, its connection to the city and the people around the area. The art of boat building will be reintroduced, the workshop spaces will be visible, the public will have views into the building, there will be natural reconnection to the craftsmanship of boat design and repair, through learning and teaching spaces,as well as new boat acitivity around the building of boats coming in and moving through to the required stages of rebuild, redesign and boats ready to enter the water.
