INTRODUCTION Tourism has been described as the industry without negative impacts; assuming a positive role for the development of places.

However, over time it has become apparent that tourism, or at least mass tourism, has significant negative social, environmental and economic impacts, especially for the most vulnerable community members and the ecology.

Over a 9 year period, Tasmania’s total tourist numbers increased by 56% from 921,300 to 1,440,300.

Tasmania's population is 540,000 almost of the number of tourists visiting yearly.

What’s special about Hobart and why do people go there?

The studio aims to tackle mass tourism and find out how to turn this phenomenon into a positive force for local development.

This will be explored via the ultimate symbol of masstourism, the ‘Mega Cruise Ship’ and its terminal/docking infrastructures to be situated within Hobart’s historic waterfront precinct.

Current Hobart Port:

TASMANIA AS A TOURIST SYSTEMECONOMY

TASMANIA AS A TOURIST SYSTEM INTRODUCTION This proposal of dispersing homeport is to reduce the pressure on Hobart during cruise season. In addition, the huge amout of benefits to economy from cruise tourism will be a key to this proposal. With Hobart, the merge of educational institution and terminal will make sure the building will be optimized in use during on-off season.

For Burnie, the aim to turn the port in to homeport for logistics and food hub center will create the uniquness of port in Tasmania where the passengers and local will be interacted with each other by selling and introducing their local products to the international passengers as well as domestic travellers in Australia. In addition, the development of the new port will bridge the seperation of city and the port through the establishment of new precinct and greenery spine.

For regional approaches, the injection of new infrastructures to the currents port around Tasmania will both help to reduce the pressure on ecology of Tasmania, especially Hobart and Burnie, and openning up the potential of new type of cruise tourism. The proposal explored how cruise infrastructures can be designed to prioritise the local community. Through injecting programmes that are contextually relevant to each regional town, the piers become a catalyst for community activities and events that allow locals and tourists to exist in a blended mode, experiencing regional nature, attractions, food and culture.

POLICY AIM Establish a distributed homeport model between Hobart and Burnie that disperses economic opportunity while minimising local pressures

. We must consider cruise tourism in tasmania as a complex social and economic ecosystem. While Hobart is the largest port, the rate of growth of port calls to burnie port Arthur significantly outpaces Hobart.

2.Hobart remains the most unaffordable city to rent in Australia. An Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute report released last week revealed the city had the highest short-stay density in the country and one of the highest Airbnb densities in the world..

“Indeed, University of Sydney housing researcher rofessor eter hibbs confirmed that per cent of Hobart s rental market is dedicated to short stay rentals, he said. That s more than in properties that Hobart renters are locked out of.

4. Increased levels of tourism and the Tasmanian economy growing has created a strong domestic local buyer demand. Hobart is forecasted to have a 10-15% growth this year, causing further tension in housing supply and demand.

5. Hobart is becoming extremely unaffordable for residents. Through diversifying the investment and creating more opportunities for Tasmanians in regional locations, the economic benefits can be dispersed more evenly across the state. . Therefore, any increased economic investment into Hobart s port infrastructure must be met with proportionate investments into regional ports to ensure the entire cruise ecosystem of Tasmania can grow equitably.

1. Through assigning Hobart as a people processing home port, the number of domestic passengers staying in Tasmania before or after their cruise should increase due to the allowance of cruise journeys being able to start in Hobart. . These are the key cruise ship routes to Adelaide, new ealand, ydney and elbourne from Hobart 3. And these are the Flight connections from burnie, aunceston and king and inders island .

POLICY AIM Establish Hobart as a homeport for people. Increasing passenger processing facilities will expand cruise ship turn arounds and enable cruise visitors to increase their stay in Tasmania before and after their cruise

This proposal forms one half of the distributed home port model which divides the functional requirements inherent to cruise infrastructure across Tasmania s two largest ports, Hobart, and Burnie.

By taking a regional approach and establishing Hobart as the home port for people processing and Burnie as the home port for food and logistics, this model ensures economic investment is diversified across the state and is not solely focused on Hobart. By amalgamating three remnant sheds with contextual interventions and reintroduced landscape courtyards, this project leverages off the sites existing cruise infrastructure and adjacency with the niversity of Tasmania to create a hybridised series of sheds that operate as a cruise terminal during tourist season (November – March) and an extension of the University of Tasmania throughout the academic season (March – November).

BURNIE BURNIE: FOOD, LOGISTICS & PRODUCTION

POLICY AIM Establish Burnie as a homeport for food and logistics. Consolidate supply chains that increase the amount of specialty Tasmanian products found onboard, while connecting tourists with local suppliers and regional experiences onshore.

The proposal for the port Burnie is to create the connection the city with the current port as an extention of central town by designing new masterplans with logistic programs, market and more green space for the port. eperation of the port caused by the changes of topography and metal fence which make the port unfriendly to the local as well as the passengers. To cope with this problem, the north point of the port is injected with the food hub programs and logistics programs which can make sure the port will always be activated during on off seasons. In addition, the injection of public programs such as waterfront square, roofscape of terminal, market hall, and food beverage services in the new precinct will be a potential to engage passengers with local people and local products. The waterfront square acts as a bridge to connect the city with the port as it will be used for different function such as market during on season, food beverage events, and so on. While the terminal engage the passengers and local residents with the logistics service and the marktet hall through the central hall of the building where everyone can look at what taking place in the hall. In addition, the green spine running along the entrance of the port to the entrance of terminal is to distinguish the zone of new precinct and the zone of current function of the port. In addition, the green strip creats the welcoming and friendly atmosphere to the port which the existing port does not have.

REGIONAL APPROACHES REGIONAL: ECOLOGY, EXPERIENCE & NATURE

POLICY AIM Establish a dispersed network of small regional port of calls that are ecologically responsive and ena e a thent e per en es that refle t o a hara ters and the n e nat ra amen t of Tasmania

The proposal for the regional ports is to invest in cruise infrastructure in regional towns of Tasmania, allowing for cruise ships to directly berth in these towns and harness tourism as a positive force. The proposal explored how cruise infrastructures can be designed to prioritise the local community. Through injecting programmes that are contextually relevant to each regional town, the piers become a catalyst for community activities and events that allow locals and tourists to exist in a blended mode, experiencing regional nature, attractions, food and culture.

REGIONAL APPROACHES ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY DELIVERING TOURIST TO REGIONS

Zooming into these regional locations, I have categorised them into 4 taxonomies.

As mentioned in our introduction, majority of Tasmania’s most popular attractions are actually located outside of the current cruise port locations in Burnie and Hobart.

Type 1 – is No People, they are located in high conservation areas and have no residents

The proposal for the regional ports is to invest in infrastructure in these regional towns highlighted, allowing for cruise ships to directly berth in these towns and harness tourism as a positive force for regional development.

Type 2 – are tourism areas, these towns have a small amount of residents, majority of which are employed in the tourism activities that go on in those areas.

Type 3 and 4 – are all small regional communities along the coast, but are separated into the east coast and the west coast of Tasmania due to their differing landscapes and climates.

REGIONAL APPROACHES PORT DAVEY

Port Davey is only accessible by foot, boat or light aircraft, and is surrounded by wild rivers and mountains.

Cruise ships currently pass by to view Port Davey, but don’t disembark the ship due to there being no infrastructure to do so.

Port Davey, because it is a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area

he proposa oo s at prov d ng a float ng do n ort ave wh h a ows for e ped t on r se sh ps to d re t berth there, connecting visitors to the natural environment and the south west wilderness of Tasmania in a sustainable way

The design, length and placement of the pier is dictated by the water depth needed to accommodate the expedition ships, which ranges from about 3-6 metres.

he proposed do s a float ng mod ar o s stem made o t of h gh dens t po ethe ene wh h s h gh d ra e resistant to UV rays, seawater, and corrosion, and is recyclable and environmentally friendly. It is a modular pier type that can be installed anywhere, is removable and reusable.

REGIONAL APPROACHES PORT ARTHUR

Port Arthur Historic Site is the 5th most popular tourist attraction in Tasmania, showcasing a long rich history with over 30 buildings and ruins open for visitors to explore.

Cruise ships currently anchor in the bay and then tender their passengers to shore by boat, which is a time ons m ng pro ess that s gn ant shortens passengers t me on shore

Second is Port Arthur, a former convict settlement and world heritage property, located an hour and a half out of Hobart

Proposed is a new pier that allows for cruise ships to directly berth in Port Arthur.

Various viewing branches extend off the structure with visual connections to the landmarks on site.

Through carefully choreographing the arrival sequence, it generates a rich narrative and visitor experience, creating an opportunity to slow visitors down and immerse themselves in the historic site.

The design takes the length required for the pier infrastructure as an opportunity to provide a story telling experience for the passengers arriving. The pier acts as an extension of the tourist experience, as a gateway journey from ship to shore.

REGIONAL APPROACHES COLES BAY

Coles Bay is surrounded by a beautiful scenic bay that is safe to swim in. oat ng sh ng and a a ng are some of the pop ar a t v t es among the o a s and to r sts Currently cruise ships come into Coles Bay, but just pass through to view the town from the ship as there is nowhere to berth.

The existing waterfront area is a bit neglected and underutilised, and the town is quite disconnected from the waterfront due to a lack of formalised public space.

Third is Coles Bay, a highly visited beachside holiday town along the East Coast of Tasmania.

The proposal aims to utilise the potential that Coles Bay has to harness tourism as a positive force, providing infrastructure that allows cruise tourists direct access to Coles Bay, and therefore in land access to Freycinet national park.

The pier infrastructure intends to become a public recreational activity destination in itself. The new public water space facilitates activity and attracts locals as well as visitors to swim and enjoy water sports

A landscaped pathway along the esplanade, formalising the road to pier connection is proposed creating a corridor through to the town centre.

The waterfront precinct area offers a space for locals and visitors to sit and relax, with outdoor seating, a café space and a public toilet and change room facility.

The space also allows for market stalls to be set up for when cruise passengers arrive, as a way of putting money directly into the hands of the locals.

The pier then wraps around to create an enclosed pool space for younger children to safely enjoy, along with two saunas, encouraging activity in the winter time.

o o ntera t shad ng mp at ons that permanent mar ne nfrastr t res an have on a at flora and fa na s are incorporated along the pier structure, allowing for light to penetrate through.

ght pane s

Along with the improved light penetration, hanging habitat pods, which are like hanging reefs, are suspended from the pier to increase habitat opportunities under the permanent pier structure.

Various viewing branches extend off the structure with visual connections to the landmarks on site.

Through carefully choreographing the arrival sequence, it generates a rich narrative and visitor experience, creating an opportunity to slow visitors down and immerse themselves in the historic site.

REGIONAL APPROACHES STRAHAN

The West Coast of Tasmania has a very unique wild and industrial character. The landscape is rugged and mountainous and Strahan is surrounded by spectacular wilderness and rainforests.

Strahan has been historically positioned as the heart of Tasmania’s wilderness visitor experience. However, the west coast has not had the same level of investment in visitor-generating tourism attractions in comparison to other Tasmanian destinations, leaving the region out of step with what visitors would expect of a primary gateway into a World Heritage area.

Last is Strahan

Strahan still showcases the essence of its industrial history, with various sheds, equipment and carparking taking up most of the space along the esplanade, creating a physical and visual disconnect between locals and the water.

The proposal aims to create that connection, upgrading the amenity and attractiveness of the area through a contemporary precinct space that will facilitate tourism and visitation to the west coast.

It includes an undercover viewing shelter, a small kiosk cafe, a gallery space and a formalised public waterfront area to be used by locals and visitors. Located adjacent to the proposed pier is a sawmill and a wood chopping arena, two small businesses that wo d ene t from the proposa e onom a The proposed precinct along with the pier aims to become a place making landmark, attracting visitors and promoting the environmental values and uniqueness of the region.

Industrial and rustic materials such as sheet metal, and local timbers, are used, paying homage to Strahan’s history as a vital o at on for the t m er nd str refle t ng the stor es her tage and persona t of the reg on he pre n t a ms to prov de a p space along the esplanade, becoming a seamless part of the town to be used by locals and visitors.

CLEARWATER POINT - ECOLOGY

INTRODUCTION In an age where tourists are seeking to ‘experience’ nature, tourism must contribute to sustainable development and reduce its impact on the environment.

If not, Anthropocenic change will mean tourism is about selling an encounter with ‘the loss of nature’ rather than encountering the ‘spectacle of nature’ itself.

In 2018 more than 640,000 holiday visitors travelled to Tasmiania and studies show the key reasons people visit Tasmania is for the nature and wildlife experiences, heritage and history, food and the arts.

Holiday visitor expenditure was $1.67 billion increasing by 4% from the previous year.

With 110,000 passengers visiting on cruise ships it is important that Hobart, as the main passenger port, is not only able to handle the number of visitors, but maintains the environment which they have come to see. This not only benefits tourists but also the health and wellbeing of locals and assures sustained ability to manage tourism into the future.

The cost of filters which would reduce emissions by 90-99%. […the regional agency for environmental prevention and protection has demonstrated that the cruise ships traffic in Venice is the major responsible for atmospheric pollution…], [… every ship pollutes as much as 14.000 cars, also while being docked.

Moreover, an estimation performed by the Veneto Cancer Institute states that “in Venice and Mestre there is a statistically significant excess of lungs cancer compared to the rest of Italy“]. This is an extract of Act n. 1-00199, published on the 13th of December 2013 by the Senate of the Italian Republic.

Air pollution reached levels 150 times the level for ‘clean air’, after a big cruise ship has sailed by. The pollution caused by the fuel used by cruise ships as well as motorboats mixes with the air produces NO2, CO2, and SO2 which severely damage the “natural” environment, the health of living beings as well as corroding the works of art and the palaces of Venice.

Ships docked at Venice Port keep their motors running 24hrs a day.

In 2015, the port of Venice has welcomed close to 1,6 million passengers.

Rotterdam Case Study Recommendations Install additional continuous monitoring equipment for monitoring air emissions, including but not limited to nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (nano, ultrafine, fine, and coarse), and CO2.

Publicly report the data from all air emission and effluent discharge monitoring equipment, including the location and volume of discharges and all other data, in real time to a publicly available website.

Monitor sewage, graywater and other effluent discharges at the point of discharge, including but not limited to temperature (thermal pollution), PH, PAHs, BOD, turbidity, chlorine concentrations, and fecal coliforms.

Make discharge, discharge location, and effluent data publicly available.

Immediately progress towards your absolute greenhouse gas reduction targets by implementing a slow-steaming protocol across your entire fleet.

Halt liquified natural gas (LNG) investments, and redirect those resources towards zero emissions strategies, including research, development, and testing of sustainable fuels such as green hydrogen or ammonia.

Publicly commit to 100% shore power use by 2025.

Lead in the development of a universal shore power system.

Retrofit ships for shore power, and immediately require all ships to use shore power where it is available.

Pay 100% of the costs of shore power infrastructure in all ports of call by 2025.

Ecologies / Food and Fuel Requirements

Ecologies / Supply Chain

Food stocks are largely determined onboard from past experience of consumption, based on number of passengers and length of voyage. Some areas in particular like buffets create large amounts of food waste.

In line with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, companies like Costa cruises in wishing to improve their environmental credentials (and cost outlays) are looking to reduce wastage by

Typically cruise ship companies use a vertically integrated supply chain with most goods delivered and warehoused at the home port in advance. Fresh goods are supplied directly to the the ship for loading.

MSC Cruises based in Genoa typically receive an average of 15 truck loads full of food and beverages per cruise for about 4,500 people.

50% by using technology to monitor waste and raising awareness and responsible behaviour at the buffets.

Water is often supplied through delsalination systems onbaord.

Fuel loads are determined by the distance they travel, the size and weight of the ship, the speed they travel, climatic conditions, their hull design and drag created.

Products are sourced through agents using global supply chains in large volumes to mimimise costs. On board shopping, entertainment and dining Local economies are mostly locked out of the ship’s supply chain, benefitting mainly from use of the port facilities and restocking of fresh produce, beverages and fuel.

Black water must be treated by onboard systems if stationery or within 3 miles shore, however beyond this are no restrictions on untreated sewerage.

Grey water no restriction on release.

Bilge water release prohibited unless treated through separator to an acceptable level. Records must be kept.

Hazardous waste must be packed, labelled and disposed of at onshore facilities Solid waste disposal prohibited within certain istances from shore miles e cept plastic which is completely prohibited to dump at sea.

Sorted into burnable, non-burnable and recyclable, and can be incinerated onboard or shredded and compacted to save space, then disposed of at Port.

Air pollution (nitrous oxides and sulphur oxides) can be put through sulphur scrubbers which limit sulphur emissions, ho e er, e uent ischarge from them effects marine life due to heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Low sulphur fuel is better alternative.

Ballast water is taken on in coastal waters of one region after ships discharge wastewater or unload cargo, and then discahrged at the next port of call.

TOXIC POLLUTION

DIRTY FUELS

Docked Cruise Ships produce as much toxic nitrogen oxide gases and particulates as 700 lorries each.

Boats can therefore emit up to 100 times the level of sulphur oxide gases (SOx) permitted for cars, vans and buses. As travel restrictions continue to lighten, the amount of travellers per year will likely grown. The use of Hobart Port will grow accordinly, meaning more stress of the enviroment.

Pollution contains a sulphur content of <3.5%.

Nearly every cruise ship in Europe is still using high-polluting fuels that harm the environment and human health, prompting calls for ports to ban them altogether.

Of the 77 vessels tested by German environmental watchdog Nabu, just one had avoided using toxic heavy fuel oil the group described as the “dirtiest of all fuels”.

Heavy fuel oil is the lowest grade product to emerge from refineries.

THE SUPPLY CHAIN TASMANIA AS A SYSTEM Tasmania is abundant in natural resources, this map identifies important resources produced around Tasmania from food to energy.

Surveys show that some of the key reasons people visit Tasmania are for its natural beauty and wildlife experiences, and well as the city’s heritage, history, foods and the arts.

Out of the 12,500 GWh of energy mainland Tasmania produced in between 2019 and 2020, over 9 and a half gigawatts are from hydro-electric dams (90%) with traditional thermal power making just over one thousand gigawatts.

SALAMANCA MARKET

FORM DEVELOPMENT

As part of earlier research, we explore the idea of expanding the existing Salamanca Market, located at the southern end of the habour. To accommodate the influx of passengers, this design added more lightweight stores and seating next to the existing market stores.

This montage explores the concept of using Tasmanian geology to inspire the form of our project. The market facility would incorporate the undulating outline of Cradle Mountian as its roof condition.

31

WILDERNESS POINT MID-SEM DEVELOPMENT This project is about Hobarts new Wilderness point. A Home port for Hobart seeking to bring cruise ship tourism to the city using the port as a datum to enhance and activate the natural beauty that surrounds it.

In an age where tourists are seeking to ‘experience’ nature, tourism must contribute to sustainable development and reduce its impact on the environment. If not, Anthropocenic change will mean tourism is about selling an encounter with ‘the loss of nature’ rather than the ‘spectacle of nature’ itself.

Through intense mapping and development of understanding what makes Hobart tick, we have devised 5 policies that look at activating the home port trough engagement with the local ecologies and the existing infrastructure.

Together we have narrowed our interventions down to 5 lightweight interventions that speak to an on / off cruising season allowing for maximum spill over into the local community and minimal leakage of economic and environmental growth through typical closed loop, cruise line companies.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY As governments work towards net zero carbon emissions, cruise tourism and its large ecological impacts will have to change to be ecologically sustainable and accommodate growth.

The port redesign is an opportunity to address existing sustainability issues and develop the site as part of a circular economy, reducing the carbon footprint, improving supply chain efficiency, reducing the amount of waste and the need for new resources.

THE ISSUE

Tourism has been described as the industry without negative impacts assuming a positive role for the developement of places. However over time it has become apparent that tourism, or at least mass tourism, has signi cant negative social, environmental and economic impacts, especially for the most vulnerable community members and the ecology.

CIRCULATION OVERVIEW

CRUISE TERMINAL TYPOLOGY OVERVIEW 1. The examination of the idiosyncrasies between the different scales of ports internationally.

1. Ports circulation is prioratised through the entrance of buses and taxis.

2. Home ports steer away from creating pedestrian pathways whereas port of calls encourage pedestrian activities.

2. Home Ports vs Port of Call. Due to its seaside locality, the terminals are also arranged with Marina’s, Yacht Clubs, and ferry docks/ terminals.

3. Most of ports have a peninsula shape that reduce its access, minimi ing the entrance of locals.

3. Boundaries and security as major components of terminal typology.

4. Ports of call have more waterfront edge access to people to walk.

4. The form of the docks become an iconic component for the monumental cruise ships to abut to. Protruding concrete landings drift away from the city centres, leading passengers into terminals, or in smaller instances, tents for more checks and travel security processing.

5. Repetition through componenets - the ship yard/docklands that often align with the Home Ports, or are at least within a few kilometres of Port of Calls. These vast manufacturing areas are also accompanied by cargo storage containers, and sometimes city infrastructure, such as water treatment plants.

The shape and si e of the port determines the level of circulation present in that area.

TERMINAL AND CRUISE SHIP STRUCTURE 1. Height and length of the building is in relation to the si e of the cruise ship. Each oor has its speci c role with the ground oor generally being used for loading/unloading and the second oor for passengers. Typically, the port building is 3 storeys.

Cruise terminals play an integral part of costal and maritime architecture and urban waterfront typology.

2. Entrances are seperated based on function. The driveway entrance and the passengers entrance are separated.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

3. Must be a driveway located on the side of the building for car and delivery trucks.

1. Travellers seek choices around - nature - retail opportunities - soft adventures - exclusive and authentic access all respective to location and time.

The function of a port relies on the cruiseship.

One without the other simply cannot work.

THE RULES 1. Cruise terminals play an integral part of costal and maritime architecture and urban waterfront typology.

2. There is a crucial min window for independent activities operators to engage with passengers and deliver experiences where and when passengers disembark.

2. This min window is imperative and will act as the area of in uence on how the day pans out for a passenger.

3. Catchment area is important as it becomes the area of in uence for potential passengers.

Most bene cial catchment becomes a 3km radius around these terminals. What is situated in these 3km will determine the bene ts for the location.

This min window is imperative as the area of in uence on how the day will pan out for a passenger.

3. The shape of the port determines the level of circulation present in that area.

5. The function of a port relies on the cruiseship. One without the other simply cannot work.

TERMINAL PERSPECTIVE VIEWS

OFF-SEASON

The bike port as well as the port act as a landscaping structure, in which the roof is accessible for gathering areas, offering a miltilevel ground oor with a green environment.

In the ground oor plan, the southern serice road would convert into a market to increase the usage of the port during the off-season, and increasing the bene t of the the water front.

This space would be consisted to the idea of a biking city by promoting the idea of a biking road in the middle of the market to facilitatke the access of people.

ON-SEASON

TERMINAL PERSPECTIVE VIEWS

The port it self promotes the idea of abiking city by allowing passengers to use bikes through the facilities.

Additionally the port tries to also promote a greener space to enhance the public realm on-site, by introducing open green areas where people can access and well as planters around the port facilities.

Additonally, the port also considers the people who are not willing to bike by offering shelters across the port structure in the pick up and drop off ones.

BIKE TERMINAL

LOCALITY PLAN

ISOMETRIC VIEW TACTICAL DESIGN

Two different points of the city have been chosen to showcase how the intervention would sit in the context. This two locations are chosen due to the caracter of commercial bussineses that are runing in them varying between retail and restaurants.

There is a set of 3 different interventions to be used to satisfy the varion of the widths of different roas through hobart.

This space can be used as an standing dining area for people who want to stay for short period o ti e

The space is to allow for space between the temporary struct res to e se as a restin s ace an as a s ortin s ace to increase the capacity of dining spaces

Additionally, the proposal seeks to add resting areas around this interventions to increase the capacity of the inteventions through the street so visitos can sit o n the oor and eat or rest, this around commercial points to increase the time spent by travelers in those areas and to increase the economical bene t from them.

The sectios show the usage of the street during the on and off season, as we can see we have introduced a new bike lane during the off season and also have increased the oudoor dining area in the on season, not allowing the access of cars during the on season.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW

This proposal would not only provide more spaces for touists, but would also increase the activities that locals can do, providing a double bene t in the comunity and the commerce.

ON-SEASON

PERSPECTIVE VIEW This proposal would also increase the pedestrian sidewalk, as it woulc increase the area that is used only for it, as the outdoor furniture peviously used by the restaurants would be shift to the street, increasing the dining space and the walkways.

INTRODUCTION What is Authenticity?

Authenticity is often synonymous with words like “reality” and “truth”. In the context of tourism, Authenticity could be described as something raw and true that is native to a particular place or culture that isn’t necessarily old or rooted in tradition, it evolves with time and different things can become authentic during different eras. In short, Authenticity is subjective.

However, Authenticity is tragic. Due to frequent visitations, a place begins to lose its charm as it starts to cater to the generalised needs of a tourist that can lead to superficial and unfulfilling interactions between both the locals and the tourists.

While tourism is a booming industry that can be a great opportunity for locals in terms of both: sharing their culture with the world as well as gaining new financial opportunities, it is a double-edged sword that can harm the locals and the region as a whole and make a place a mere shadow of what it once was.

Tourists are no longer satisfied with superficial tourist activities. Instead, they are looking for an in-depth understanding of a place to build their collection of stories and experiences that can’t be satisfied by short tours of a place and overcrowded tourist spots.

Authenticity in tourism is therefore a balance - something that caters to both the tourist as well as the locals that promotes real interactions where both the tourist and local feel like they have gained something out of an exchange - financial gain or an unforgettable experience.

SOUTHERN TASMANIA TOURIST ATTRACTIONS – 2019 TOURIST VISITATION

CURRENT DOCKING TIMES Hobart is a port of call and cruises dock in Hobart for less than a day - this allows for cluttered, crowded, and superficial tourist experiences while overstressing the land resources & the locals. The period of docking is not enough.

SITE SELECTION A Port at Salamanca Place: maximising authenticity.

Salamanca place- The authentic touristy place has the potential to be Hobart’s Port of Call owing to its existing popularity between both locals and tourists. Salamanca Place is considered to be a suburban region of Hobart and a port terminal here would help blur the lines between Hobart CBD and Salamanca Place, making the connection between them stronger.

6

This would also lead to increased accessibility of Hobart CBD from Salamanca place via bicycle and bike rentals as well as by foot. The Port being located in an area driven and run by locals would maximise opportunities for them and promote spillover. The interactions in this region would be authentic as the tourists step out from their cruise ships directly into the colourful culture and locality of the region, allowing them to absorb the local without any distractions.

PROPOSAL : CRUISE TERMINAL & INTERVENTIONS The Cruise terminal is the first & the last thing cruisers will see of Hobart & hence it is important to give them a true & authentic version of Hobart within the terminal complex.

A way of achieving this was to incorporate vernacular architectural elements into the design & display the culture of the city.

However, another important aspect is to make sure these spaces & interventions can be used by locals in the off-season as well, and hence the terminal & the interventions needed to be porous & temporal in nature.

The key interventions designed to maximise authentic experiences & interaction between tourists and locals while also encouraging economic spillover are : 1. The Promenade The promenade, located in between Salamanca Place & Hobart CBD, leads the users of the space & the tourists disembarking from cruise ships along different curated walks that lead to different areas in the city. The porous promenade focuses on the idea of “slowness”.

2. The Antarctic Experiential space.

The Antarctic experiential space caters to small expedition cruises to Antarctica while artistically expressing the importance of Hobart in relation to Antarctica, through guided tours of the space & the MPV Everest. The precinct consists of porous & temporal built forms and landscapes that build up curiosity and encouraging walking to explore the area.

3. Accommodations.

The interventions of the dispersed accommodations in the suburbs & outside of Hobart promote an authentic understanding of these popular tourist destinations by connecting non-central communities & encouraging economic spillover. The interventions will be located in Battery Point, North Hobart, South Arm & Cygnet.

THE CRUISE TERMINAL The cruise terminal at Salamanca Place, serves as a transition zone that between Salamanca Place & Battery Point to Hobart CBD. The terminal aims at distributing passengers in & around Salamanca Place so as to help benefit the local businesses & activities but also provide the tourists with an authentic experience as soon as they get off the ship.

The strategy here is to divide what would otherwise be one long terminal building & facility into 3 terminals & a logistics center. This would help with the distribution & dispersal of tourists in different areas while also being capable of serving either one large cruise ship at once or a few small to medium size cruise ships individually.

This allows only that particular building to be in use hence allowing the others to assume different functions, making the “On & off” spaces. Each terminal building would have a capacity of 2000 people, and all 3 terminals together would be able to serve 6000 passengers in total.

During the “on” or the tourist season, the terminals maintain their primary functions while transforming into art galleries, event spaces & markets during the off-season while also serving as a terminal for the Derwent river cruise to MONA. The terminal would hence cater to ships of all sizes & functions through different times of the year.

THE TERMINAL BUILDINGS: The ground floor of the cruise terminal consists of mainly the check-in, waiting & baggage collection areas which can be rapidly transformed into event spaces, art galleries, etc for events during the off-season while being open to the waterfront, allowing the terminals to be porous & temporal.

12

The first floor of the cruise terminal buildings would be used for security, immigration, customs & boarding the ships via an aero bridge. This portion of the terminal would remain closed during events, art galleries, etc, but would be open for the art gallery cruise to MONA, etc.

13

MATERIALS USED: The terminals use the materials locally found in the area: Sandstone, Timbre & Glass to reflect the local architectural language and to honour the local charm & authenticity of Salamanca. Sandstone has largely been used as the cladding material for the cruise terminals, while timbre has been used for the floors & ceilings. The terminal roofs also reflect the local architectural elements and are pitched, however, they mainly consist of glass to capture a panoramic view of the historic docks of Hobart that can be viewed by passengers during the tourist season & by locals during the offseason events.

The area outside the terminal consists of sandstone blocks that act as benches & an extension of the promenade & antarctic experiential space while also providing a sense of direction. These sandstone blocks also allow for ‘slow movement” and strolling through the area by acting as pause points.

THE PROMENADE The promenade is the intervention designed to disperse tourists along different walk paths by creating an interest to explore as walking is the best & most authentic way for a tourist to experience everyday local life.

The promenade creates a pedestrian-only zone, that allows the visitors: local or tourist to experience the area by giving them different pathways & directions. This enables further dispersal of crowds to different areas of Hobart CBD. Upon documenting different kinds of walks with different destinations & agendas, it was observed that all the walks stemmed from one single point at Salamanca place right outside the proposed terminal building. This would allow tourists to explore the city in different ways and create their own journey.

10 different walks were chosen and used as a tool for the conceptualization & creation of the promenade and its activities.

Walks mapped to agenda 16

BLURRING THE THRESHOLD The promenade aims at blurring the threshold between the CBD & Salamanca and aims at connecting the two places via an open public space that allows for authentic interaction & slow-walking experiences.

The site for the promenade was mapped on a 400 x 400-meter grid, which would be considered as the typical walking distance for a tourist. The aim is to keep the tourist engaged by allowing them to curate their own walks & experiences encouraging them to walk beyond the conventional 400-meter walking distance.

The promenade further also includes bike stands at regular intervals that allow for tourists to rent, pick up & drop off bikes which further encourages exploration of the city on a more personal level, cutting the use of cars and buses as a means of tourist transport around Hobart. This will help the local businesses of the area while also providing the tourists with authentic experiences & interactions with Hobart’s locals and culture as a whole.

FORM FINDING & CIRCULATION The form was found by making the entirety of the site a single raised mass and by adding slopes to it, making out the focal point of all the walks.

The walks were then put over the site and the massing & used as a generative tool that leads to the formation of the different pathways. Substracting these pathways then resulted in different forms being created, that would guide the user along different pathways and journeys.

The promenade challenges the unidirectional typical promenade and uses these pathways and forms to distribute the tourists & users of the space in different directions, giving them different areas to explore & walk around each time they visit the space.

The walking, exploration & experiencing the promenade, their walks & the areas they lead up contribute to & maximise the authenticity of the place.

Diagrammatic connections walks and the intervention Variation in heights of slope

The promenade also aims at connecting the water’s edge to the tourists via the means of amphitheaters, slopes, and steps that create a seamless transition between the water and land, adding another layer of porosity to the intervention.

The promenade forms would be cladded with sandstone externally, a material locally used for the buildings of Salamanca while the interiors of these structures along with the pavement would be that of concrete.

THE ANTARCTIC EXPERIENTIAL SPACE

Avg duration: 25 days(From Hobart) Research / expedition vessels

Hobart is the closest port to Antarctica in the Eastern Hemisphere, which’s more accessible than Port of Bluff in New Zealand which is roughly the same distance from Antarctica. Hobart has the potential to become an important port for Antarctic tourism & hence an intervention educating locals & tourists on Antarctica & antarctic tourism would be of importance. The Antarctic ice breaker named the MPV Everest currently docks at Hobart near the Salamanca place waterfront and is used for antarctic expeditions and sets sails to the Australian Antarctic bases. these expeditions last for 25-31 days and are open to tourists who are interested in exploring Antarctica. This shows the current importance and future potential of Antarctic cruise expeditions from Hobart and could contribute towards the uniqueness & authenticity of Hobart.

The Antarctic experiential space aims at sparking the tourist’s curiosity about Antarctica through a curated tour & walk of the Antarctic terminal, information space, research facility, and the outdoor experiential space all while experiencing the local culture Hobart has to offer.

VEHICULAR ACCESS

ANTARCTIC ELEMENTS + PARK ELEMENTS The precinct is porous in nature allowing for people to walk through the built forms and landscape, for guided tours of the space and the Antarctic ice breaker. The space includes landscape forms and elements inspired by Antarctic landscapes such as ice tunnels, the Ross ice shelf, Stalactite & stalagmite fountains, as well as some abstract icicle benches.

These elements serve as place markers that stand out and help users navigate the precinct and serve as key gathering points and photo points for tourists, While also providing a sense of suspense by partially obscuring the waterfront and structures which lead to further curiosity and encourages walking and exploration. The artistic interpretations of the Ross ice shelf form visual barriers that partially obstruct the vision of the waterfront, antarctic terminal, amphitheater, and the research facility and create interest & curiosity to see what lies beyond. This promotes the idea of walking and enables the users to explore & walk around the space. The Park elements include sandstone benches the tie into the promenade intervention and cruise terminal as well as lawns, amphitheaters and steps down to the water to all encourage interaction between the users and maximise the use of the area.

Thus, the park and the ice elements complement each other and allow for the user to have a slow walking experience that maximises authenticity.

ACCOMMODATIONS

SITE SELECTION FOR ACCOMMODATIONS

Hobart does not have an off-season when it comes to demand for hotel accommodations and short-stay accommodations. the demand and rate of bookings have been on the rise over the years & will continue to go up due to the growth of the cruise industry & mass tourism.

82% of southern Tasmanian hotels are located in & around the region of Hobart, while accommodations are scarce in other popular southern Tasmanian destinations. The creation of more accommodations in the immediate city would lead to congestion & overcrowding and hence this intervention aims at the creation of dispersed accommodation options that decentralises the accommodations from Hobart, bringing in more economic opportunities to different communities.

The idea is to accommodate over 2000 people in 20-40 different Hotels with each hotel having 25+ rooms, to fulfill the demand of temporary accommodations as well as provide authentic experiences to tourists & allow for greater understanding of the locality & culture, while also providing spaces for community activities to encourage interactions between the locals & tourists.
