The Australian Institute of Architects will ask Brisbane City Council to redraft a "fluffy cartoon"plan to develop South Brisbane that it says has no details.
It will also add its weight to calls by 1700 residents on Wednesday to ask Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney to extend the Friday deadline for public submissions on the future of the riverside land.
AIA Queensland president Richard Kirk confirmed architects had raised major concerns over the Kurilpa Peninsula plan with council's planning team at an industry briefing on September 25.

"The Kurilpa Master Plan is a world-class opportunity for Brisbane and deserves a world-class process," Mr Kirk said.

"And we have not seen that world-class processs."
The Queensland chapter of the AIA hosted last week's briefing, attended by the Urban Design Alliance of Queensland, architects and landscape architects.
Briefing notes seen by Fairfax Media show industry figures questioning traffic, the proximity of buildings, the amount of green space and the purpose of the site.

Ruth OHerlihy says architects should be part of debates around development
In a coffee shop with a view of the intersection of Ordnance Street, Gower Street, Kings Bridge Road and Military Road, Irish architect Ruth OHerlihy said there is a touch of Ireland in Newfoundland and Labrador.
But it is mostly heard, in local accents, rather than seen in the structural landscape, she said.
In Ireland, we tend to build with heavy materials and houses are of brick or of stone. Timber structures are kind of few and far between. And you come here (to Newfoundland and Labrador), and its kind of extraordinary everything is made of timber, with the odd exception, she said Friday.
Her trek to St. Johns followed an invitation from the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Architects. She became guest speaker at a public lecture at the LSPU Hall on Sept. 25 a first in a series offered from the association this fall.
From the firm of McCullough Mulvin Architects, based in Dublin, OHerlihys work is contemporary. She has worked on new building developments, but also on projects based on existing structures.
Were involved a lot in how to re-imagine buildings to make them relevant for current use, she said.
McCullough Mulvin Architects has been recognized for tapping into the often polar-opposite positions of change and preservation in the case of older, even protected, structures bringing the two camps together with a single idea.
The buildings need to be made relevant in an ordinary way in terms of servicing and access and all of that, she said, but also for people to be able to touch something that can be relevant to them today.
An example would be the Rush Library. Fingal County Council commissioned McCullough Mulvin Architects to transform the deconsecrated St Maurs Church.

Visiting lecturer encourages architectural reimaginings
Designs for an eyecatching development on one of the last remaining riverside sites in Newcastle have been released.
The plans for Malmo Quay, close to the Ouseburn, include a viewing platform giving views over the Tyne and come after three internationally-renowned architecture practices won a competition to develop the area.
Paris-based AWP Architects will work with London practices Mikhail Riches Architects and Featherstone Young Architects on the designs for the site, beating practices from Newcastle, London, Edinburgh, Paris and Berlin.
The development will include 60 apartments along with a new home for the Cycle Hub, which will be publicly accessible from the riverfront.
Work is now under way to create a development brief, which will outline the possibilities for the site.
David Roberts, director at regeneration specialist igloo, said: We have held an initial workshop with all three winning architects and they are now working as a team to bring a hugely exciting scheme to Newcastles waterfront.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop the site and create an inspiring, innovative area in a spectacular location.
We are now hoping to quickly conclude our negotiations with Newcastle City Council for the quay wall, so we can begin development as soon as possible at what will be a key site for the city.
The new designs planned at Malmo Quay, Ouseburn including the new ramp and observatory at the Cycle Hub
Landowners Newcastle City Council and the Homes and Communities Agency are now preparing the conditions requirement for development at Malmo Quay, in partnership with developers Carillion igloo Ltd (CiL).
