Secure Cycle The aim is to promote environmentally friendly transport in Melbourne. Currently insecure and impractical accessory storage limit bicycle use. To overcome these problems I have designed a secure bicycle cover. The design is a foldable bicycle cover which protects bicycles and bicycle accessories from theft, vandalism and weather damage. The bicycle cover is slash proof, water proof, flexible, storable and fits the majority of bicycles. Material: Kevlar with resin object printed ‘rings.’

Constructing the aqua-phonics system at CERES Community Environment Park

Aqua-phonics, Water Sculpture and Aeration System The Aqua-phonics system and aeration sculpture was constructed for CERES Community Environment Park in Brunswick. The Aqua-phonics system farms fish and vegetables simultaneously. The discarded nutrient of the vegetables feeds the fish while the fish waste feeds the vegetables.


Aqua-phonics, Water Sculpture and Aeration System The aeration sculpture is to move water from the deeper areas of the pond to the outside ‘lip’ and therefore aerate the water for the fish. The water for the sculpture is powered by a bilge pump which was powered by solar panels. Material: steel, antique utensils, hard timber
