SLQ's The Edge's photostream

Planning is in process for The Edge, the State Government's next development at the Cultural Centre. The Queensland Government is investing $7.9 million to develop The Edge.
The Edge, due to open in 2009 as part of the State Library of Queensland, will be a creative place especially for young people
The Edge will deliver exciting programs and creative opportunities for young people. Programming activities within The Edge will adopt young people-centred philosophies and practices.


Ideas from you, your friends and others are being gathered to help inform the architects about the kinds of spaces and things that need to be included in the physical design of The Edge.

Programs and facilities will provide opportunities for young people to learn about and engage in new media, creative industries production, exhibition and presentation.
There will be facilities to support young people’s creation of art, film, photography, music production and recording, gaming and design, community based publishing and digital storytelling. There will also be exhibition, presentation and outdoor spaces for chilling out and activating.


We want to hear what you want to see in The Edge; what you'd like to be able to do, what it should look like, and what you want from it.

This flickr page has been created to display photos of the redevelopment stage.

We have set up a 'Edge' Group over here that is to collect your ideas in photo form. They don't have to be your own photo (just make sure if it is someone else's photo, that you don't claim it as your own), we are just trying to collect as many different ideas as possible.

Right now we are looking for photos in regards to space and design. Find photos of cool buildings, rooms, studios, outdoor areas, parks, streets, rooftops...anything! We want to see it all!

Please start contributing to the group. The Edge is a creative space for YOU. You are the ones who influence the design. So get thinking!
