FILTRATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A SELF-SUFFICIENT NEIGHBOURHOOD
First Semester | Fourth Year
The brief for this studio was to respond to flooding issues during the densification of the Arden Macaulay area. This project operates across multiple sites along Arden Street, proposing a linear
connection between North Melbourne and
Kensington over an existing road bridge. Architecturally the proposal responds to the historically industrial building typologies and industrial scale in its local context. The strategy aims to embrace water filtration engineering and celebrate it as a core architectural element of redevelopment. The proposal is for large initial infrastructural investment that provides a framework for future development in Arden Central. This project accepts that it is crucial for future neighbourhoods to have a self-sufficient water supply system while contributing to reducing the impacts of flood on Arden Macaulay's growth and viability.
