Damian Rogers Proposes Surf Park for Melbourne's Docklands

Damian Rogers Architecture is hoping to “bring surf to the city” by proposing a $8 million AUD artificial beach and wave pool for the Victoria Harbor in Melbourne.

If built, the pool would be complimented by a beach, encompassing boardwalk, and grass-covered recreation and retail facility.
