Melbourne is projected to experience substantial population growth in the next 20 years. This means across the city the demand for personal travel will also escalate. Placing increase pressure on road infrastructure with is already operating at capacity during peak hour. As it will be demonstrated through this study, additional consideration must be given the wider urban structural elements such as the street. Particularly emphasis should also be on pedestrian circulation, legibility of routes and an enjoyable and safe experience in getting around.

A superblock located in the inner city of Melbourne has been selected to demonstrate the possible alternative urban development. Situated approximately 2 kilometres northeast of the Melbourne Central Business District, its dimensions are approximately 1.5 kilometre from east to west and 1.5 kilometre from north to south. Global roads are major arterial roads that bound the superblock and provide movement across the city and glocal streets can be defined as streets that cross the global roads bounding the superblock and extend into or even across neighbouring superblock. And last but not least local streets which are internal streets within the superblock that serve as access ways. This thesis in particularly is concern with glocal street, as it not only has the ability to serve as movement conduit between the multiple superblocks but more importantly it also have the properties of a place, a location in which people enact part of their lives.

Applying ConnectionDepending on the available spaces, or width of the street, different methods or models can be used to provide connection for pedestrian and cyclists. Three of the most common connection typology are overpass, zebra crossing and under pass. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The decision for anyone of the type should be based on street by street bases. For instance, some site is practical have overpass that uses stairs and lifts whilst others might require ramps. Nevertheless, there are common principles which apply to all scenarios. This includes disability access, bicycle access, safety and in some instances the ability to access the connection from multiple directions.

To coincide with this study, fbuilding development control is propsed on building behind the tall buildings on the edges of the superblock. To graphically illustrate the development control, a conceptual design is put forward as an example.

A survey of vehicular and pedestrian flow was taken in during four different times on a Saturday for a half an hour.The result indicates there is greater amount of foot traffic on the west side of Sunshine Station compare to the east. Whilst on the other side, there are greater amount of car passing through. This shows a direct relationship between cars and pedestrian vitality.And in order to the area more pedestrian friendly, vehicular access in the area must been reduced or diverted.

Built Form- Improve and strengthen the character and identity around the station- Promote the integration of ESD initiatives into new development- Recognise that the study area have the potential to accommodate a more intensive built form.- Built form varies in building heights, facades and forms to create visual interest.- New development should not adversely affect the solar access of nearby public spaces.

How do we read something that is not composed of letters, words, sentences, but images, streets, voids, buildings, and volumes. The task in the studio is therefore to script a Generative Code to transform existing conditions and avoid introduction of preconceived or conventional template-based designs. You should expect to be editing and revising your generative code to encompass new understanding as the studio progresses. The code will be tested by applying it to a triangular car park sites in Melbourne.

The aim of the project is to use this code to challenge the verticality that has dominated the typology of high-rise residential, by exploring how this typology could be altered into a horizontally integrated volumetric density. We aim to design the site as the beginning node of a network of connected volumetric densities for the city.

Another key aspect of this project is the understanding of hybrid programs; of what generates them, why they are beneficial or desirable, and what makes them thrive. This allows for maximise multiple use of spaces throughout the day by allocating programmes into hybrid configurations based on complimentary time cycles. It is important that activity is constant and not controlled by private or public rhythms.

The superblock is the building block of much Japanese urbanism. Our study of Gokiso, a typical Nagoya superblock, identified its morphological patterns: it began also to derive urban design principles and suggest improvements for the particular place.

Not more than 1km by 1.5km in area, the Gokiso superblock is bounded by wide metropolitan (global) extra large roads on all sides, with subway stations on the corners. Slope/plane envelope regulations allow for tall commercial and residential buildings (up to 15 storeys) on these streets, creating corridors of intense activity. Moreover, the outer parts of the superblock feature a legible grid pattern of streets and street blocks; the inner parts have an irregular grid, with a wide range of block sizes: most are about 2,000m2, but a few larger than 7,000m2. One glocal street traverses the superblock in each direction, continuing through adjoining blocks. These serve as traditional shopping streets - shotengai. Interior (local) streets are extra small (mostly up to 4.5m), and buildings accordingly low (mostly up to or 4 storeys).

design development

Large proportion of land use in the superblock has been dedicated to ad hoc car park, creating an imbalance between open spaces and car parking. The design concept revolves around transforming those car park spaces into multi function community space. In order to retain those spaces for car parking an additional platform will be built above creating a volumetric structure. Each platform can be allocate a different program.

This report on the future development potential of Wyndham Vale has been prepared on behalf of Wyndham City Council. A review of the existing conditions of Wyndham Vale indicates the area is expected to undergo significant growth. Considering that Wyndham Vale has already undergone significant development, perhaps the traditional sense of strategic planning as a normative strategy of achieving utopian ideals is best not applied within this context.

Therefore an analysis of the City of Wyndham Planning Scheme as well as other relevant policies and documents that pertain to the subject site were conducted. A review of the existing natural, social, economic and built environments has also been incorporated in the report.

note: all drawings and diagrams in this projects were done collaboratively in a group.

In Melbounrne, intergration between trams and trains are rare, with just only 32 connections within the network. Making transfer between the two transport modes cumbersome. A decision was make to put a new train line operating from Footscray station, travel past Flemington racecourse, Moonee Ponds, Westgarth, Clifton Hill and finally ends at North Richmond. This new line was considered appropriate for the following reasons:- Create a better intergrated transport network structure- Allow for lateral movement across the metropolis - Connect key suburban location

As part of this new line, Clifton Hill has been selected to be futher development in the a transit orinated hub.

development objectives

future built form

The indented urban form at Clifton Hill will seek to bridge the gap between transportation (dominant railroad, cars, and vast parking lots) by creating spaces that bring life to the area surrounding the railway station. The new station will like to be a one or two storey building with a V-shape platform accommodating the convergence of three dierent railway lines.

In addition, The following Built Form Options represent options for Development. Resolve the inadequacy of the layout of the existing Station facilities to cater for increasing rail patronage Introduce greater height into the built form Create active frontages to streets Recognise the importance of reinstating the Station building in the round Encourage the identity as a transit hub. Integrate with adjacent precincts, functionally and through permeable linkages. Aim for all new building elements to have multiple addresses and active frontages.

The University of Melbourne in the 21th century will be a quality educational institution. It will continue to carry out the role of knowledge transfer at the same time aspire to engage the world with its ideas and innovations. Therefore it is vital that landscapes and buildings within the university precinct support those functions. The new Universiry Square design will be based on the actuality that there needs to be a resurgence in the use of this space.

The University Square is classified as a nodal point in the urban typology. It is a external public space, piece of open land that lie between private landholdings. One of the key problem at University Square is the lack of significance attached to the square which is making the space a discretionary environment. It gives the impression that it is a place to walkthrough, not a place to stop. This is a consequence of the disengagement with the surrounding environment and lack of identify.

As the relationship of public space to public life is dynamic and reciprocal. The focus of new square will be place on creating elements that act as a magnet to draw people towards the square. In other words the space should be responsive, meaningful and democratic. In addition, improve pedestrian linkage to the surroundings.

The University Square needs to be a space that support the Universitys role in knowledge transfer and engage the wider world. The concept is derived from the use of different learning symbols in the education process to create an abstracted forms and carve them into the landscape as pathways at the bottom half of the University Square to symbolise the pathways of knowledge. At the top half of square are two arches that form a sphere to represent the globe. The purpose is to signify the dialogue between knowledge and the world.

7 Eunson Avenue Residence

Concept diagram

Inspired by the underwater theme, the design adopted forms from coral, waves and fish scale. By transforming the origi-nal shape to a much more sophisticated design response, and than placing them on the faade of the building helps provide new dimension. At the same time emphasis the clients passion for scuba diving. An operable screen is put in place to block the hot western sun during summer. Another distinct feature of the design is downpipe plant on the exte-rior of the second level. Not only does it make innovative use of ordinary downpipe, but more important it is a metaphor for the process of storm water flowing down the pipe can be beautified to protect the under water world (living space).
