When the shopping mall enters the transformation stage, the service population becomes more diverse, and the needs of different groups of people have both personality and commonness.

In the current function distribution of the buildings, the functions of the three buildings are very single, and there is no connection.This design will update and subdivide the functions. Starting from the relationship between the use of people and functions, it will connect the interactive parts, promote its own development, and encourage people to interact with the designer at the same time.

The building block of the site is too large, which leads to the lack of daylighting. I demolished part of the area, so that the three buildings were enclosed to form a small square to enrich people's walking lines.

Considering that its commercial functions require a large number of people, the business district is arranged on the lower level, and the exhibition area is arranged in the atrium. The livestreaming is relatively independent, parallel with learning, and connected with the design area.

Functional Partition

As the plot is close to the viaduct, in order to promote the evacuation of people along the street, part of the first floor and the second floor are used as a semi-open space. Considering the density of people, leisure spaces such as creative bookstore and coffee are added into the functions of the ground floor.

Functionally, designers’ studios are used to connect buildings, promote communication among designers and encourage personalized design. On the top floor, a screening hall is arranged to bring visitors into the atmosphere of design and personally feel the charm of costume design.

Sectional Analysis

Considering the depth and width of the building, the design of the atrium runs through the building vertically, providing more daylighting. Meanwhile, the stepped atrium also provides a vibrant area for display and interaction. The annular atrium divides the space more richly.

KEY SITES ONE

KEY SITE SUMMARY STATION PRECINCT

Key Site One builds on the site's existing heritage building and focuses on the relation between the north and south side for pedestrians, enhance connectivity. This is achieved by connecting main streets, increasing the types of buildings, upgrading and elevating the exising station. To better realise the goal of building a 15-minute city. https://www.archdaily.com/413042/the-flinders-street-station-shortlisted-proposal-hassell-herzog-and-de-meuron/5202a3abe8e44ebcd300013c-the-flinders-street-station-shortlisted-proposal-hassell-herzog-and-de-meuron-image?next_project=no

Heritage

KEY MOVES

A new road linking Flinders Street and Baylis Street has been added to the west side of the station. This road is located under the railway tracks and greatly facilitates access to the north and south. The new design optimises traffic while enhancing the overall environment around the station, making it more accessible and friendly. The construction of new roads and bridges breaks the existing traffic bottlenecks and improves the accessibility of the area, facilitating the daily lives of residents and the travelling needs of tourists. This initiative not only improves traffic flow around the station, but also further strengthens the station's function as a regional transport hub.

HUMAN VIEW

The second key initiative involves utilizing the space beneath the elevated tracks. With the tracks raised, this area becomes activated and available for development. The proposal includes transforming this space into a public park equipped with relevant facilities. This transformation will enhance connectivity, particularly for pedestrians, and offer a communal space for residents. Additionally, a cycle path will be integrated along the track, expanding the cycling network and encouraging the use of active transportation.

Section A illustrates the spatial relationship between the road, pedestrian path, cycle path, and the elevated tracks. View 1 provides a visual representation of the intended environment, showcasing the envisioned public space and its amenities. This approach not only improves accessibility and connectivity but also fosters a vibrant community atmosphere by repurposing the previously underutilized area.

OVERALL STATION

PRECINCT VIEW

The strategic development plan focuses on three key initiatives to enhance the station precinct. First, pedestrian connectivity will be significantly improved by elevating the tracks and transforming the space beneath into a public park. This newly activated area will serve as a communal space, fostering social interactions and providing essential amenities.

Third, the preservation and adaptive reuse of heritage buildings will be prioritized, maintaining their historical significance while integrating them as active landmarks within the community. This approach not only honors the area's cultural heritage but also enhances its appeal and functionality.

Second, the underutilized spaces will be repurposed to diversify the building types, incorporating retail outlets, hotels, offices, and apartments. This mixed-use development will create a dynamic and economically vibrant environment.
