From our research on Crows Nest ’s histor y, we noticed that based on historical trends, it was highly likely that Crows Nest and our site would become hyper-urbanised in the near future. As such, we decided to have a program which would allow us to combat this through the preser vation of nature. This program would be a seedbank.

The sloped roof-top garden offers a canyon pathway to simultaneously incite curiosity within visitors and homage similar natural landscape thereby reinforcing the connection with nature.

The main programs of the centre is connected with central corridor that public can have glimpse of other sport’s facilities which attracts and advertise other sports. Also, as the skylight at central corridor shows that the architect believed that it was a great oppertunity for the social acitivity area to encourage strong social bonding between the public.

seeds are preserved in a secure seedbank, away from the new urban environment.
Plants are allowed to grow in a carefully controlled environment, in a preparation for future release.
Having adapted to the new urban environment, plants are allowed to grow almost freely in garden beds.
The adapted seeds are free to spread throughout Sydney, aided by the station locate on-site.
