DRAGON DANCE
It is a traditional dance and performance. It is a simulation of the imagined movements of this river spirit in a sinuous and undulating manner. It is a symbol of Chinese culture and is believed to bring good luck to people. These spirits affiliate themselves with the rain, wind, and sun. And the longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

Our focus site is Corrs Lane, and the strategy and concept is to utilise the existing microclimatic conditions imbued in the physicality of compression and release in the site.

The lane is broken up into three segments that scale from compression to release, and the design is to mitigate the unwanted and unpleasant atmospheric qualities of the site, and to enhance and enable specific microclimatic conditions that vitalises the hospitality programs present on site.

Wind is unique factor on this site as the canyoning effect due to the stagnation of buildings create different variations of microclimatic conditions.

SOLAR RADIATION ANALYSIS
From our analysis, the area that gains the most solar radiation is in this release site that spans from Little Bourke St, until our released segment of the site until the back wall which is shaded by the tall building.

SECTION B-B
we will be repaving corrs lane to be more pedestrian friendly, and have a water channel on both sides to direct water. As it progresses from compression to release, following the natural gradient of the site, the water will be directed will be direct to the bioswale to be filtered and collected to the rain water tanks that are stored under the berm and are used for misting irrigation.

We experimented with venturi effects through a continuous facade system, and breaking apart the wind with bernoulli effects to play with the dynamism and playfulness of the site. This continuous facade element continues from Lonsdale street all the way to Little Bourke street, which forms into a canopy in the site of release.

Since this is the release of our site, we wanted the site to be pleasant by utilising the unique conditions of the built environment, such as the cooling from Corrs Lane. However, we could only achieve so much, so by introducing trees and canopies in different arrangements we were able to test how much we were able to shade the site. We analysed the solar radiation of trees and found out that it has a limitation where it only covers a certain radius from the tree itself, and we attempted to test on a canopy. From the testing, we believe that using an operable canopy is much more effective compared to using trees, where it also resonates with the idea of temporarily in our main site.

For the final, we decided that a structural infrastructure as a canopy enables us to achieve a level of temporality and variability which was a key unique factor of the segment. With the structural and climatic necessities, the canopy is held up by a structural trunk that allows for deciduous plant climbers and other surface elements to attach themselves to the infrastructure. As seen in this section our trunk, aligned with membranes, captures water and pools it at the bottom, allowing for wind to breeze through and cool down the surrounding areas during summer.
