MUDD 18 2012-2013 Studio 2: Randwick Knowledge Cluster

Innovation + VillageDavid Wolski

A Development Vision that intergrates disparate related Educational, Medical and Research Centres into a cohesive pedestrianised cluster that can either be funded by public or private capital or a comination of both whilst still maintaining appropriate transitions and interaction with the surrounding community.

1.01 Aims- Explore the nature of innovation and its relationship to the

city as a dynamic complex of economic , social and physi-cal variables

- Explore existing Knowledge Cluster paradigms and analyse their suitability for insertion into the surrounding fabric

1.02 Objectives

HIERARCHY OF PLACE - Create a sense of place, identity, through a hierarchy of external spaces for the community to have a great place to work, study , live and playFOCAL POINTS- Create appropriate focal points around the spaces and focal buildings as the symbols of knowledge and commerceEDGE INTEGRATION- Integrate the built form into the surrounding street and use patterns with emphasis on connectivity to the town centresIDENTITY - Maximise site gross floor area to create an imposing ‘temple for knowledge and economic development’EASE OF ACCESS -Plan for a cohesive sustainable transport network through safe walking ,cycling networks and mass transit linked to key destinations, public open space and recreation opportunitiesSUSTAINABILITY -Support sustainable development and opportunities to show-case environmental performance and technologiesCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATION-Facilitate partnerships between the key stakeholders to encourage leadership in excellence and innovationOPEN SUPERBLOCKS - Create more open campuses at UNSW and POW that relate to surrounding streets, with High St being the connective ‘Spine’ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY -Enhance the cultural, entertainment and recreation potential of the Cluster, especially in the area known as the ‘west end’.ENABLE TRANSITION ZONES- Recognise Barker Street as a transition area from the Health Campus which must scale back to a neighbourhood area and heritage area.ENGAGE WITH RACECOURSE- Ensure the long term viability of the Racecourse as a racing venue, by allowing a broader range of uses on its High street frontage. and potential to Land swapENABLE IMPLEMENTATION--Create building envelopes for development in key locations , with building heghts based on achieving economically feasible redevelopment and a high quality streetscape environment, particularly on the High Street Spine.

2.00 The VisionDevelop- a Urban Design vision that incorporates Creation of a integrated knowledge cluster centred on existing research and educational and residential facilites within walking distance of each other to foster social + intellectual interaction Realise the development potential of the Randwick Tramshed Campus of the Universityof New south Wales within the context of a ’ Specialised Centre’ in the Eastern Suburbs

3.00 Development Program 2031UNSW - 100,000-150,000sm - Conservative modelling estimates that the UNSW campus, with 500,000sqm, will require an additional 100,000 to 150,000 sqm by 2031.

HOSPITAL - 40,000- 50,000SM The Randwick Health Campus, with 235,000 sqm, will require an additional area of 40,000 to 50,000 sqm by 2031. - The draft East Subregional Strategy notes a planned medical research facility of 75,000 sqm for the Centre. While this has not yet eventuated as a single development, the combination of the recent and planned research-related developments in the Centre totaL over100,000sqm (70% of total additional on-campus floor space since 2006) - This will be influenced by the type of health use and the potential for some overlapping floor space demands between the Health campus and surrounds.

ANCILLARY SERVICES - 30,000-40,000SM -Demands related to health and medical uses outside the hospitals, indicates the need to plan for floor space of around 30,000 sqm in the areas outside the Health Campus

RESIDENTIAL -200,000-400,000SM - employment growth of around 25-30% by 2031, (around 1% per year with some variability each year), equating to around 3,500- 4,000 additional jobs. -The draft East Subregional Strategy sets a target of an additional 8400 dwellings to be built across Randwick City from 2004 to 2031 (an increase of 16% from the total of 52,000 dwellings in 2004,or approximately 0.6% p.a.). This reflects Randwick’s lower population growth rate compared to 1% for the Sydney SD. -A mix of housing types and more accommodation for students, older persons and key workers need to be provided within walking distance to their jobs, study and services. The Centre currently has about 7,000 dwellings in a mix of housing types.

5.00 Implementation Techniques5.01 Zoning

CURRENT ZONING

5.02 Financial StrategiesTRAMSHED SITE STAGE 1 ( rezone high density residential) Sell tramshed site for high density residential for approx $3-4000 per sm for high density residential to developers for 15732 sm x $3500= $55.5 mlSTAGE 2 (lease tramshed building) Lease the Tramshed itself to a Serviced Apartment Chain (Stamford , Medina etc the tramshed footprint is 6500sm approx at 2 floors is 13000 sm leased at $300 sm is $4ml paSTAGE 3 (use capital to buy land in interface ) Refer staging plan

PROPOSED ZONING

6.00 Sustainability Strategies

5.03 Staging Plan

Staging StrategyBuy larger lots to minimise cost per sm along SE Bndry of UNSW and incorridor to Hospital to establish corridorInitial phases of Residential Buffer Zone should commence with larger lotsDedicated land to be bought with Section 94 contributions for community + open space purposesSmaller Lots along Eurimbla Ave may be the highest cost per sm to purchase and hence the longest to consolidate development sites

4.00 Paradigms +PrecedentsWhat is implicit in following a paradigmatic approach to design is that each paradigm is a standard model to address a certain problem Paradigms are ideas that are an exemplar of what is goodEach paradigm provides affordances of what can be caused to happen JON LANG-A simlar plug-in hybrid knowledge cluster exists in the Sydney University + Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Precinct. The surrounding suburbs have posed similar issues to the expansion and intergration4.01 IssuesCONNECTIVITY Due to the integration of the original “Super Block” with the surrounding streets which are required to remain pedestrian connectivity is disjointed EXPANSION The surrounding pattern of land ownership means acquiring land is at the whim of individual landholders and the market, requiring the future expansion plans being flexibile enough to accommodate a less certain land availability
