Proposed 40% Green Coverage to cooler the area

Proposed Multi-layer Vegtation Cover

Proposed Species

Current Species Existing vegetation is kept but thinned and new is planted. Meadow is sown in certain areas

Canary Island Date Palms

Cepe Myrtle Spotted Gum Magnoia ‘Little Gem’

Maintenance: The meadow is mowed in the end of august, 10 cm. Remove clippings afterwards.

Large Jacarandas Crepe Myrtle, Figs Illawarra Flame Tree

Lemon Scented Gums Magnoia ‘Little Gem’ Jacaranda’s

An allé of tree rows are introduced. Tree species are chosen because of height (between 8-15 m in this soil) and stem, difference in flower and smell. Eg. jacaranda.

Ficus macrophylla Brush Box Bunya Bunya Pine Large Figs are located within the central circle of prince Alfred Square

Dwarf Bottlebrush Plumbago (Plumbago Auriculata ‘Royal Cape’) Diosma (Coleonema Pulchellum) Fairy Rose(Rosa’The Fairy’)

Several large species of Gums reflect the increased interest in reflecting the Australian landscape within park plantings in the 1950’s and 1960’s. These are significant features and should be retained.

Proposed Planting within the garden beds is to be predominately low shrubs and groundcovers to retain views from surrounding streets. A mix of plant species are proposed, reflecting the various eras and use of the space. Accent planting can be incorporated into these garden zones reflecting various themes as listed.

Ground cover: Seed mixture for meadow on clay soil. Sowing time: May or August/September, 2 kg pr. 1000 m2.

Newly planted trees should be stemmed, H14-16 or bigger. Maintenance: Crown lifting up until 2.5 m.

Vegetation of different colors (nuances in white to pink), blooming time (all year round) and heights (in this soil maximum 15 m) are introduced. Ground cover: Seed mixture for park grass suitable to both sun and shadow. Sowing time: September, 3 kg pr. 100 m2. Maintenance: Cutting of grass 10-25 times a year.

Planting system: The alley is a grid of 3 x 42 trees planted in a system is according to figure 1 but with openings according to the masterplan.

Type 11: Industrial Street (Cumberland Highway) Total Length: 28.5m

river wetlandascleaning We see Westmead the converging point of the Greater Sydney. We take inspiration from the confluence of the Rivers, nature corridors, historical settlements activities, aboriginal activities and life to propose a plan for the growing precinct. The plan is grounded poetically in the notion of moments of confluence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these come in a variety of forms allowing residents and visitors to experience a multitude of atmospheres and elements. At these points people meet people, heritage meet education, health meets transport or nature meets industry. Through this guiding concept we produce a richer and beneficial spatial translation of our goals. We aim to promote an active lifestyle and liveability, enable identity and community spirit and provide cool, clean streets with clean energy.

A.F. PARK A CONTEMPORARY HISTORY WALK SNORRE ES GAD

A.F. Park [Amager Fælled Park] is a new city park and its concept consists of three main goals. Firstly, to fight the ever-expanding urban surroundings. This piece of nature situated only 3 km to the city center is a hot topic for urban development. By making a strong border of water bodies, pushing to the very limit of the city, A.F. Park will be protected from an urban future.

Secondly, it reinforces the history of the area. This part of Amager Fælled used to be a royal artillery ground. Three mounds are still present, yet hidden in the landscape. These will be made more visible and in addition to that, a monumental water mirror with a triple tree row will resemble the long lines and royal aspect of the artillery grounds. Also, the coastline used to run on the most western side of the area. This is brought back by a water body following the old coastline, combined with an active waterside. Thirdly, it enlarges the qualities of Amager Fælled which are not shown to its truest potential. That is why the nature is adjusted to be a city park connected to the rest of Amager Fælled to the south. Currently movement and sight in the area are quite restricted, orientation is difficult. By densifying the already dense forest at the northern part, and opening up gradually from that point on to the south, the area can ‘breath’ again and has a logical transition towards the rest of Amager Fælled. The clearings will be maintained by sheep, which also adds to the nature experience.
