Problematic: Sydney’s long neglected suburbs are experiencing renewed pressure to densify and intensify. The ”Adapturbia” studio introduces the architect as a catalytic and transformative thinker in this context. Specifically, the studio asks “How relevant can the architect be in anticipating, understanding, manipulating, subverting and transforming existing and future conditions in the suburbs?” In response to this question the studio will re-imagine the single lot suburban subdivision and its nuclear home. Research will speculate on the future of the suburb as students proceed through archetypal housing analysis, innovative prototypes and finally, the development and reiterative testing of their own housing typologies. - Adam Russell

Manifesto
“ The developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas actually run out. The American way of life - which is now virtually synonomous with suburbia - can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in either price or supply will crush our economy and make the logisitics of daily life impossible.” _Howard James Kunstler
Suburban sprawl is the ever-growing outward sprawl of low-density living and is a constant topic within public debate. Suburban living has become a proliferate model for homebuilding because it reflects the Australian cultural mind set that - home ownership can lead to a better life and is an expression of success and security. This is not necessarily the case. Unfortunately the ability to spread and allow every Australian that “dream” for a quarter acre block, allowing for a front and back yard, under utilises one of the only things humans can’t produce more of - Land. It is an impossibility for all to enjoy this “dream” when all reasonable constraints are considered. Transport, amenity, economy, energy, conservation and food are all imperative for a sustainable urban future. As such this cultural mind set needs to adapt and/or change if we are to survive effectively, efficiently and happily together. One of the biggest challenges facing Sydney is how to combat this mind set and the suburban sprawl it brings. We must adapt these areas or redesign them to become efficient and effective for producing-land rather than destructive-land. In order for these changes to be made planning policies and the culture of society must be changed to accept each other and live together. Models of living found in countries such as China, Japan and many European contries are much more dense than Australia without compromising its living standards. Public transport must be able to service the future populations and enable easy access for home and work to co-exist. Current suburbs will need to give up their own green space for shared green space and denser living environments will also be a necessity if we are to continue population growth. To achieve these goals the following CRITERIA must be imposed;
1. Existing lots may only be developed if they are sold as a configuration of up to three individual parcels of land.
2. Existing lots must allow green public space behind the building to be remanded by council or leased for food produce.
3. New dwellings upon parcels of land must touch the boundary line on road side and back building line exceed no more than 30meters from the road side boundary.
4. Egress to public green space and/or food produce land must be available to tenants and the public
5. Dwellings may not exceed four stories high - Height Line of 14m

(Vulnerability Assessment for Mortgage, Petroleum and Inflation Risks and Expenses)
VAMPIRE Index
Panania
The vampire index was developed in 1996 and assessed areas of high vulnerability to increased petrol prices and mortgage stress. A direct correlation between the VAMPIRE index and the amount of people utilising public transport with relation to their proximity. As can be seen, the availability for those with little to no public transport means that they are in a high risk area for increased petrol price and mortgage stress. Similarly, the areas with increased population, such as the city, increase the likelihood for people to ulitise means other than a car.
Current City Density Typical Suburban Lot
Desirable Organic City Denser cities are required to accomodate the room needed for food production, water catchment and to encourage a connected society. The Australian Institute of Architects said in their review of NSW Green paper, “The present planning system delivers multiple layers of review and control with no parallel gain in environmental quality.” This reflects the fact that planning legislation must first change to allow more intensified growth within the already built areas.
The current wider Sydney density promotes the sprawling of suburbia into the “Sydney food basin.” This area to the West of Sydney contains arable land and can be cultivated to “feed” Sydney. Unfortunatley, at present the essentials of living are prioritised only after our want for housing and as such outsourced food, water, electricity, and convenience must be shipped, flown or trucked in.
