The center is meant to provide students, entrepreneurs and small business owners "with opportunities to explore and develop their business passion and vision through innovative and informative educational and networking opportunities," said officials from Manchester Community College

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.

Suburb plan a 'fluffy cartoon'

Just over a year ago, a group of architecture students had an idea to temporarily lease a vacant lot and turn it into a park.

On Wednesday, the students' idea took concrete form with a groundbreaking ceremony for their park at Park and Market streets in San Diego's East Village. The students have since graduated from the NewSchool of Architecture and Design and formed a company called RAD Lab. It works on this and other downtown projects.

The lot just a few blocks north of Petco Park is owned by Civic San Diego, the nonprofit created to replace the city's dissolved redevelopment agency.

Reese Jarrett, the new president of Civic San Diego, said his organization hopes to build housing, retail and commercial space on the site in the future.

"But in the meantime, what happens to the space?" he said. "Well, RAD Lab has answered the question for us by creating this exciting opportunity of open space, public engagement and place making."

David Loewenstein, chief operating officer of RAD Lab, said the temporary park fills a need in downtown.

"In the middle of East Village, you see a lot of high-rises, a lot of residential, not a lot of public parks, or a lot of urban parks specifically," he said. "So our vision and goal was to create something new, something different, something for the community, and something we could all enjoy."

The park, which RAD Lab named Quartyard, will include a dog run, event space and a beer garden. It will be made with reusable materials, including shipping containers, and was designed to be set up quickly, so it should be open by December.

Loewenstein said when he and his student partners began looking for a space to build a park, they were "told no a million times." But they won the support of former Mayor Bob Filner, interim Mayor Todd Gloria and current Mayor Kevin Faulconer. The project raised $60,000 in 30 days on the website Kickstarter and got a major fundraising boost from Andrew Cantor, CEO of the investment firm Cantor Companies.

Gloria said at the groundbreaking ceremony that it was a change for him to break ground on a project that would be completed in just a few months.
