Franklin Square MUSEUM LANDSCAPE
Franklin Square, a depository of experiences and memories. Its Landscape narrates a solemn story, A story of the struggles and victories, The conflicts and reconciliations, The meek and the strong, The Aboriginals and the Whites.

LANDFORM MODEL
The Landscape is a form of art. Through artistic expression, the Land has been transformed. Thus, a Landform that speaks and narrates is created.

CONTEXT MAPPING
Art & Cultural Precinct
SULLIVAN COVE
Franklin Square, Lies at the fringe between Hobart City and Sullivan Cove. A Connector, Links the Land and the Sea, the Art and the Culture.

LANDSCAPE MAPPING Mapping - Analysing Context from Macro to Micro Scale
This studio explores the intricacy of the Tasmanian Landscapes. By understanding the fluvial processes, geomorphology, and vegetation, A miniature landscape of Tasmania is thus created, To bring forth the sense of place.

North Bank Playground A NARATIVE
THRESHOLD
The playground plays a didactic role in teaching children the importance of natural environments.
The THRESHOLD uses the Scientific definition of Ecological Threshold as an analogy to create a Spatially experienced Threshold.

Section A-A
Section B-B
This is a collaborative studio with 24 CARROT PROJECT, which is partnered with MONA. This project helps to promote ownership and sense of community within Gagebrook Area. This aims to increase food productivity and availability in the area, as well as ensuring food security among the poor disadvantaged students.

PLANTING PLAN The Planting Plan for this Garden has been well considered for the students. They are edible natives and most importantly non-poisonous. The plants provide visual interest and sensorial experience to create conducive educational environment.
