WYNDHAM CITY HAS HAD THE LARGEST AND FASTEST GROWTH OF ALL VICTORIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS FOR 2011.-AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF STATISTICS“ ”Wyndham City’s recent suburbanization and prospective growth signifi es its increasing importance within the broader

context of Victoria. Suburbanisation depicts the growth of destinations on the fringe of the Melbourne metropolitan area, strengthening the ties between the locations as people commute back and forth. In order to celebrate Wyndham’s position as a ‘Boomburb,’ a rapidly growing city that remains suburban in character, we have created a recognizably parametric form which evokes signifi cant impact and interest from its viewers. The central location chosen for our monumental gateway is ideal for the placement of the large-scale sculpture, which craving attention from every direction. We have stipulated the growing connection between Wyndham and Melbourne through deriving our design from the regular, square geometry of Melbourne CBD’s Hoddle Grid layout. By distorting the rectilinear organization of the Hoddle Grid, we can infer a sense of movement and dynamism, promoting the growth of an up and coming city like Wyndham as something which evolves and expands over time, developing into a prominent community. The ‘booming’ growth and extrusion represented through of our design is refl ective of a bar graph signifying rapid development and change, elevating the city’s status as a prominent and sophisticated part of Melbourne’s future. Parametric design represents the architecture of the zeitgeist, there is no better tool available to depict Wyndham’s desirable future and rapid growth than with digital tools that represent the future of design, hence our deign is recognizably parametric. Viewers will retain dynamic imagery of Wyndham in their minds’, long after driving past our memorable ‘gateway.’
