THESIS STATEMENT:

Because the limited local employment within Sunbury due to its proximity to Melbourne Airport and existing Sunbury town’s industrial and educational structure is incapable of coping with the rapid population growth that results in the loss of employment opportunities, it poses a serious employment situation crisis to the whole community of Sunbury.

Suppose we try to break the traditional employment structure and provide more employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for local residents through the new Town Center building. Will it promote the economic development of the whole town?

Will it mitigate the severe employment crisis?

By revitalizing local industries and creating more local jobs, the town of Sunbury will become more than a ‘satellite town’. The new Town Centre will allow more locals to work and create in the suburb and use the airport as a transit point to serve the local industries. Therefore, local commodities, artworks and specialities would be sent to every city in Australia, or even the world, through the Melbourne Airport.

The ultimate goal of the new town centre is to complement the existing Sunbury Town Centre, not overtaking it.

OpenMarket

The open market inspired by Sunday market in metropolitan Melbourne which is a long-held tradition in many local communities. There is no owner, no fixed tenant, any local business can sell their products within the space. No longer is the place solely dedicated to buying and selling groceries. Now, this market has been elevated to accommodate a whole host of services that have transformed markets into something far greater. The open market bring greater choice and convenience to the thousands of Sunbury residents who look to the retail sector for part-time and causal employment opportunities. This includes people who are still at school and at university. This can really cultivate local talent, connect residents and business to regional markets and provide perfect opportunities for local traders to engage with local residents.

Humans are capable of both creating extraordinary artworks and destroying them in a blink. After thousands of years’ conflicts and wars, world leaders have come to an agreement that the senseless destruction of artworks and cultural heritage has to come to an end. In a UN conference, Australia has declared itself as a permanent neutral country and will not take part in any future international conflicts. Following this decision, Australia become an ideal sanctuary for artwork from all over the world, especially from the regions under the threat of constant conflicts.

Melbourne quickly stands out among all Australian cities thanks to its long emphasis on culture, which leads to the arrival of waves of artifacts. This become an opportunity for local authorities to properly utilise these valuable products of human culture and truly establish.

Melbourne as the world’s cultural capital. In order to accommodate this need, the ARTK is commissioned.

What if ?

- What if the third World war happens and people use weapons of massive destruction, as a neutral country and the survivor, is it necessary to conserve the artefacts?

- What if people are struggling to conserve artworks because they don’t have the skill set required?

- What if there is not enough space for all the artefacts?

- What if there is a need for Australians to be able to learn how to preserve all the evidence of existence?

- What if the tower can bring people from all over the world to enjoy the exhibition of art?

What if the tower become ‘Noah’s Ark’ for artworks?
