Temporary/Tactical Urbanism Studio 2019
Urban Design Studio C
Studio Leaders: Kim Dovey & Matthijs Van Oostrum
In this studio, we explored the potentials of temporary/tactical urbanism through a range of projects and sites in Melbourne.
The Proposal:
The pop-up railway cinema takes place on a rail reserve on the northwest exit of Victoria Park Station in Abbotsford, Victoria. The purpose of the temporary intervention is to make use of the underutilised land and the blank interface of an office factory building next to the station that create an unpleasing built environment for the train users and to interrupt the usual uneventful pedestrian traffic flow with the insertion of the railway cinema.
