Drawing from the Concept of Adaptive Re-use your clients the V&A Waterfront are looking to reactivate the Collier Jetty as it straddles the tourist driven industry provided by the Waterfront mall and The Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island and the industrial function of boat repair at the Fish quay and several marine and logistical industries. The Collier Jetty used to have a gantry that housed four conveyor belt systems that delivered grain from the shipping elevator to the ship loaders, to be transported to the export markets and was a significant link to the sea. The gantry has subsequently be demolished but the jetty still stands and provides an opportunity to create a corridor from the Silo District to the sea, allowing views of the working Fish Quays and the city. Your challenge is to design a journey along the jetty that houses various programs around the concept of what the historical significance of the jetty was. This would be in the form of a fish market to reignite the industry with an exterior intervention and a restaurant with a specific exterior and interior aesthetic. One must not be overwhelmed by the size of the jetty (220m x 22.5m) and utilise the end of the jetty with the remaining tower structures for the building intervention
