This page collects contributed concept images and design visualisations for the DGFTU discussion. Some may use AI as part of the workflow; Rodney Surawski's set is not purely AI-generated. They are useful because they give people something visible to respond to, talk about, improve, reject or remake.

Rodney Surawski's DGFTU concept visualisations.

Credit: Rodney Surawski. Shared into the DGFTU discussion as concept material from a broader design process.

Process context from Rodney

Rodney clarified that AI is one of many tools used in the visualisation workflow, not the whole design process. The work also draws on concept sketches, hand drawing, cultural narratives, site analysis, stakeholder consultation, research, Photoshop, Illustrator, CAD drafting, material selection, accessibility requirements and construction considerations.

He noted that the paths, lookouts, signs, seating areas and sculptures were individually considered in response to the site, the project objectives, and Belinda Close's cultural artwork and concepts. The images help communicate design thinking; they should not be read as push-button AI outputs.

Formal project, client or cultural credits can be added here when they are confirmed clearly.
