Melbourne has the unique characteristic. This reveals quite strong in CBD area. Dynamic cultural base from migrant people, many street activity and temporal art activity in the ally way build the alternative coluor of Melbourne. People can see this art activity every CBD area and enjoy it. One to one of these is strongly demonstrated. Some are temporal and some are semi-permanent.

Rally/Protest
PROTEST/RALLY people density movement
Rally and protest in CBD area is often way to gather people in the public realm. It is a kind of ephemeral performance activity to notify their thinking to people. In front of state library and federation square are common rally areas due to large public movement.
Cultural precinct
precinct
On Lonsdale st and lt Lonsdale st, two cultural precincts are formed, which are Greek and China precincts. This were formed by migrate people. Now this place is popular tourism point and demonstrates a clear colour of their tradition. The number of their traditional event occurs in this area. This supports the settlement of their culture in Melbourne. Moreover, this made the culture of Melbourne more dynamic.

Graffiti
GRAFFITI popular graffiti area
Graffiti is the cultural identity of Melbourne. This area shows people engage with building the uniqueness Melbourne. Most Graffiti is often over painted, so people can enjoy difference over time. Furthermore, it is most attractive point for tourism.
PAPARAZZI DOGS (FEDERATION SQUARE) sculpture lounging movement
Busking
STREET BUSKING busker’s density
Street busking occurs on Swanston and Bourke st. This is a kind of human cultural property. This activity causes gathering people and enjoying that. It is changed by different buskers, so people can enjoy dynamic busking over time. This is one of attractive points of Melbourne as well

CULTURAL ATTRACTOR Meseums, library, shopping, cafĂŠ The element of cultural attractor has built surrounding the centre of CDB. Shopping distinct has formed in the central area and the entertainment areas are surrounding it. CafĂŠs are spread every CBD area and this make the connection point with other element. The city blocks between Elizabeth and Swanston st are the most attractive area with highest the change of people density over time.
ATTRACTIVE ZONE high low
Meseums, library
PUBLIC USE library theartre,cinema museum
State library, where on corner between Swanston and Latrobe st, is the best example of public used space in CBD area. Library provides study, reading and entertainment area inside and the front grass space is used as multifunctional, such as rest, rally and special event area. Theatres are located in the Exhibition st and shows acting, musical and etc. This is an entertainment space in CBD. People can enjoy the history of Melbourne from Museum as well. The museums are normally located in the edge of CBD block. It is a little be distinguish from city centre.
Shopping
SHOPPING department store store spot
In the middle of CBD, the shopping distinct has formed. This is because ‘Shopping’ is the most attractive city component and this encourages the high density of people in the centre. There is one arcade network has operated from Flinders st to Latrobe st. This builds the connection with different department stores, which are Australia, Myer, David zones and Melbourne Central.

The abstract model demonstrates the change of rubber bends when bamboo sticks are moved. Each different colour of rubber bend identifies the different zone of attractor in the city. The power of changing bamboo sticks, which is my hands, is the flow of time. Thus, these city components are dynamic due to the movement of people. Normally, the movement start from tram stop/intersection, then people walk through existing pedestrian network. The model has got the three dimensional movement that different coloured rubber bend can be distinguished or overlapped together. This is a sort of attractive physical activities from people. In Melbourne CBD area, there is unclear boundary each different activity of cultural attractors. For example, people can enjoy coffee and busking, while they are sitting on the bench. The cafĂŠ table normally set up as part of pedestrian lane. This can disturb their movement when they walk around city, but they can enjoy more than two when they are in CBD area. Most attractive elements are overlapped or invade other city element like dynamic boundary between city component.

OPPORTUNITY AND CONSTRAINTS
Prohibited green area
Existing highway
West gate park
bus route
connected road [cross over high way
The site is strongly divided by existing high way. West Gate Park is the huge ecology element in this area. It is the potential of development as botanic garden in CBD. However, due to a lack of public transport, the garden is not really popular at the moment. In the middle of highway there is a huge interchange area with vegetation, but this is prohibiting for access. Thus, further design work the way of connection between north and south should be major things. Mobility and transport will come after this.

From the act of analog model, the way of overlay is used to define the cultural attraction in fisherman bend area. First, the major intersection areas are picked up for starting point. Then, connect each of lines to make the enzyme field. After that, draw the connection between each line from the middle point of line. Then, we can define the area from these points. But the scale of site is quite huge and it still abstract to define the language of model.

Pins are the boundary of area and assemble point with the other next to. This work showed the potential for how the connection of site operation from micro scales to macro scale.
is this available to answer the question of site division? What is the different to conventional city plug in in Melbourne? what is the major characteristic of this system?...etc. several question came out when the model is made. The model seems to focused on connectivity of city, but it can be suggest the way of land use as well

Mixed use is the best way of how each circular cell work. This suggests the multiple uses in limited space. There are two way, which is horizontal and vertical mixed use. It can achieve the diversity of activities in one area. This can be the way to contain the essential urban plug ins in small space, so this may affect the movement of residents who live in the cell. green

PARK EXPAND
CORRIDOR Enzyme corridor effects cell structure to 3Demenational spatial quality. Creating river under the existing highway and natural sound barrier allows to change the form of cell vertically rather than horizontal movement.
ZONING Enzyme zoning idea adds the characteristic of cell and this make the landuse of cell more dynamic. With essential city plug in leaving each cell, and place different focus points, this will facilitate the movement of people.
Park expand will create the boundary of each cell. This can be a clear land mark as well
MICRO CITY _ CELL Micro city_Cell proposes 200m radius of small scale of city structure and the connectivity of each cells. the structure is mainly focused on the connection between different enzyme of city and encourage the cultural attraction in CBD area. Inner cell is combined by mixed landuse, which attempt to exist the essential city components every cells. This form of city will deal with convenience of people circulation and encourage with the movement in the Cell. The Enzyme of “Expand park� will melt in this system to demonstrate the boundary between cells. Each cell has their own characteristic with different style of zoning. For example, each cell has their own identity of landuse. Further, the form of 200m radius circulation aims the future sustainability of energy, which is walkability standard 400m. This can be potential of less number of cars in CBD area in the future. In the middle of site, there is a river flow from the end of Yarra river to Port Melbourne. This river crossing walk has impact the alternative form of bridge connection as well. The boundary Major road normally meets from 3 directions. This intersection is the potential of roundabout rather than signal. Thus, this operation will impact the traffic in the future as well.
