As we approach Gold Coast Cultural Precinct via Bundall road, we might not realize what lay beyond the rippling mounds of tropical and indigenous plantscape. All we see are the two barreling sculptural waves that seem to be originating from the land itself.

It is as if the Great Terrace epicentre has caused a rippling landform that resulted in a moment in time where the perfect wave stands still. This formal language represents not only the dominant active water culture of the Gold Coast but presents an authentic icon as a global epicentre of creative culture and innovation that will be sure to ripple throughout the international art and architecture community.
