ESIGN IS NOT ONLY AN AESTHETIC MEANS, BUT ALSO HELPS
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN CENTRES. IT IS A VISUAL TOOL IN PROBLEM SOLVING BEING THE INVISIBLE ENGINEER MIXING NATURAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCE TOGETHER. IT IS NOT SOLELY ABOUT BEAUTIFICATION, BUT UNDERSTANDING THE LAYERS AND APPLYING THE APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO HELP ANTHROPOGENIC AND NATURAL LONGEVITY.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE STEWARDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT AS URBAN CENTRES BECOME INCREASINGLY DENSE. ADAPTING BEHAVIOURS TO THE CHANGING CLIMATE, WHILST CREATING SPACES WITHOUT COMPROMISING FUTURE GENERATIONS WELFARE.
My landscape architecture portfolio is comprised from a selection of work that I completed whilst at university. The portfolio contains different project types undertaken during my master of landscape architecture studies demonstrating different ideas and explorations both domestic and internationally. Majority of my work revolves around the concept of sustainability such as social, ecological and environmental work as I am interested in the area and would like to pursue this area further. My main interest lies in of how urbanism and the natural environment can be mutually beneficial for each other especially with the development of municipalities.

CURRENT
FORGING THE
CONNECTION RIO DE JANERIO- BRAZIL:
The FAVELAS of Rio de Janeiro play an integral part of defining the city as they are built upon any available land, they are INTERTWINED within the fabric of the landscape Rio de Janeiro. The favela community arose after the abolition of slavery where migrant workers migrated to the city to find work. Finding work and for a BETTER FUTURE is still the main reason for less fortunate individuals to migrate to Rio. Migrants settle in favelas as it is the most AFFORDABLE accommodation available in an affluent society.
Located at such an EPICENTRE of surrounding affluence, how could the demographic disparage be alleviated within the favela community by connecting the differences between social classes?
Favelas have been known to be dangerous places due to controlling drug gangs, drug trafficking, crime and shootings killing many innocent people. Due to these circumstances, there has been a loss of leisure activities and public open space within the favelas as residents are constantly alert and fearful. Associated with violence and constructed illegally, the government views favelas as a stain, tarnishing the NATURAL BEAUTY of the landscape. Previous measures to vindicate the favelas have been successful.
BONDING: This is target at the favela community. Through COMMUNITY ORIENTATED programs, bonding will occur through the three-favela communities. The horizontal stratification will be brought together to function as one increasing social opportunities across the site.
D
ESIGN
CANTAGALO PAVAO-PAVAOZINHO is three neighboring favela communities located next to each other. Currently, police pacification has helped improve the lives of ordinary residents, as the pacifications primarily target the drug gangs, being the epicenter of the violence. With the pacification of Cantagalo Pavao-Pavaozinho in 2009, violence has reduced allowing organizations to construct and conduct organized community programs such as graffiti walk through the favela.
Specifically, looking at favela CANTAGALO PAVAO-PAVAOZINHO, the idea of segregation of the different demographics will be addressed by speculative SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY. This will be conducted through bonding and bridging concepts; reducing the gap between the social classes (rich and poor).
BRIDGING: Will target the affluent suburbs surrounding Cantagalo Pavao-Pavaozinho. Currently only tourists come and visit favelas on guided favela tours. It is very rare that Brazilians would visit a favela (if you don’t live in one). This is due to the fear of violence. By drawing in the POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES of the favela community such as their resilient community spirit, arts and music a bridge will provide an opportunity for locals to experience and value favela life.

FAVELA PLAN
BOND + BRIDGE + CONNECT OPEN SPACES are scattered throughout the favela on any available space between the favela houses. It allows contact with nature and greenery. It has trees to reduce urban heat island effect and to helps stabilize the ground. The spaces are connected by primary paths allowing them to be accessible, whilst prompting impromptu programs and activities. This allows the creation of community and ignites social activity. COMMUNITY CENTRES are the main meeting hub for each community. There is a community centre located in each favela- Cantagalo, Pavao and Pavaozinho. They provide formal access to education classes and information about the latest news and events. It also is the location of mini sporting events and workshops to build skills. The centers are linked by the primary pathway identifying its importance with easy accessibility.
Images: http://soulbrasileiro.com/tour/art-and-culture-favela-tour-cantagalo-and-pavao-pavaozinho/
The existing graffiti walk tour operates as a guided tour around 25 houses through Cantagalo Pavao-Pavaozinho favelas. It is a narrative of the life within the favelas and allows visitors to experience favela life. It was created by an organization after the pacification of the favlea. The aim of the tour is to provide awareness about favela life to visitors whilst creating jobs for the tour guides and to bring the favela community closer to the affluent society. Using this as a precedent as a bonding and bridging technique, concepts of social interactions within open spaces and community centers have been developed within my speculative design.

“… to identify opportunities- small domains of potentially- that can become sites of design intervention to shift the path of innovation on a new trajectory: towards sustainable, resilient conditions. The critical characteristic of the design interventions is that they can ‘start small’, and that they have large systemic effects”

(VEIL- Victorian Eco Innovation Lab)
The approach is to use key elements informed by values found on French Island as my acupuncture points that will manifest themselves through sustainable concepts on different locations on the island. These will be my eco-acupuncture nodes that intercept the island physically and hypothetically. The eco-acupuncture nodes will not only affect the location but will generate larger systemic effects beyond its landing point intercepting and collaborating with other points on interception generating larger possibilities such as eco-tourism prospects. The design proposition will be driven by the site’s characteristics and design principles derived from site analysis research to inform design intended outcome. Concepts and idea testing will be applied on French Island, Victoria, Australia.

FLOURISHING HINTERLAND BRIDGE ROAD- RICHMOND + TRACT CONSULTANTS:
THE CURRENT STATE OF BRIDGE ROAD IS IN DECLINE. IT IS RIDDLED WITH VACANT SHOPS THAT DOT THE MAIN STREET. CARS ARE THE DOMINENT FEATURE WITH LITTLE PEDESTIRAN ACTICITY. THE CHARACTER OF BRIDGE ROAD MUST CHANGE. IT CANNOT CONTINUE TO FUNCTION IN THIS STATE.
Since the nineteenth century to the current form, Richmond had under gone numerous identity transformations influenced by the economic and social characteristics of the time. Bridge Road has experienced prosperous times, which supported the local economy, but also times of decline, which has led to Bridge Road precinct being associated with negative connotations. But every time there was a downturn, the Bridge Road precinct was able to reconfigure itself to become an attractive destination. Located 3km southeast of Melbourne CBD, Bridge Road it sits in a prime location for residential and job opportunities. Serviced by tram and train services it acts as a gateway between the busyness of the city and the tranquillity of the suburbs. Despite this, Bridge Road’s economic output has been on a decline. Heavy linear traffic, minimal pedestrian movement and many vacant shops dominate the current state of Bridge Road. It has become a skeletal feature with minimal remains of an era characterised for bargain retail outlets.
BUT THERE IS HOPE. THE HINTERLAND BEHIND THE MAIN STREET FARCADES. THERE LIE SPACES WAITING WATCHING IN ANTICIPATION TO COME TO LIFE. HERE MY PROPOSITION EVOKES A SENSE OF PLACE, IDENTITY AND LIFE. DESIGING AT A HUMAN SCALE, INDIVIDUALS BECOME THE DOMINANT FEATURE. HERE LIFE WILL FLOURISH REJUVINATING THE TIRED STREET RECONFIGURING IT TO BECOME A LIVAVLE VIBRANT PRECINCT.
According to Knight Frank research consumers are spending their money but not directly into retail, rather they are using their expenses on leisure or service based alternatives. Consequently, Bridge Road has experienced the full force of the market shift that is clearly evident once on the street. Current figures indicate that Bridge Road has a 19.3% vacancy rate compared with 2.9% four years prior. That is one in five shops that lie vacant. The current state of Bridge Road must change in order to avoid desolation. Current policies emplaced cannot run on the old system of operation. Times have changed; social behaviour has changed, so policy will need to be reconsidered to allow new development to occur. My proposition is to draw out the successful characteristics of Bridge Road precinct and the forecasted influential factors that are projected to shape Melbourne. This data will inform the bases of my design.
HISTORY - Richmond becomes a fashionable place to live 1840’s - Rise in industrial growth 1850’s - Declared a borough in 1863; declared a city in 1882 - Thriving commercial area 1880’s - Most recent boom within the retail sector of women’s clothing
- Indigenous population lived in harmony with the environment- living off the land
- Post WW2, Richmond became home to returning soldiers and new migrants - Indigenous population are driven off the land for European settlement + land sales

ST. KILDA REDEVELOPMENT ST. KILDA SKATE PARK - MELBOURNE, VICTORIA For this assignment a proposed design and detail documentation package needed to be created and amended to for a proposed $50k change to the skate park. During my site visit to St.Kilda on a warm sunny day one of the first things I noted was there was very limited shade available on site and none around the skateboarding slopes. Many skateboarders would sit on the edge of the slopes waiting for their turn under direct sunlight. Skin cancer in Australia is the most common form of cancer contracted from direct sunlight exposure for long periods. To minimize the threat of developing cancer and to provide some shade, I have proposed a shelter that will complement the existing skate park, benches and vegetation.

CLIMATE CHANGE PERCEPTIONS SLOTTSSTADEN MALMO-SWEDEN: *Group work: Tove, Maria, Julia & Laura Temperature data figures indicate a global shift in temperature especially in the last decade. The change in climate will have significant impact on the coming years in Sweden. Climate and temperatures will differ from their current state in both the north and the south of the country. Sweden is expected to experience an increase in annual mean temperature of up to 5.2°c, heat waves, heavy showers in summer and winters without snow, increased sea levels, change in biodiversity, longer vegetation periods, droughts, pests and the risk of flooding. These associated changes will affect both anthropogenic and natural interaction and activities in different parts of the country.
D
ETAIL
Thus, the aim of this project was to see and evaluate how much the general public was aware of the climate change and what they have done to adapt.
From data analysis, it was concluded that Sea level rise is the biggest threat to Malmö and Slottsstaden. Thus, education and information is the key at the personal and government level so individual’s area able to make the PROPER adaption measures. As noted, a difficult question for the respondents to understand was one about personal adaptation: “Have you yourself taken any measure to adapt to climate change” Only a few of the respondents had answers that could be related to measures of adaptation, for example: - Tie down the outdoor furniture because of the windier climate or - Build a swimming pool in the garden because of the longer and warmer summers
The survey was conducted in Slottsstaden, situated in western Malmö. During three days, 60 people were surveyed using the DEveLoP tool (Democratic Landscape Planning Tool). Data was collected in the Slottsstaden area by asking a wide range of people in public areas, stores and businesses.
Adaptation is more or less an unknown concept and even though we tried to explain and give examples on different types of adaptation the majority of the respondents answered “I don’t know” or misunderstood the question as a question of mitigation. Most of the respondents answered that they’re recycling or separating their waste, that they use their car less or bike more.
From the respondent’s answers, data was sorted into age categories, determining level of education, belief in climate change in addition to what individuals valued juxtaposed to the areas they thought climate change would have the most impact within Malmö.
It’s interesting to see that the concept of adaptation is difficult for the people to grasp and it might be important for the municipality to work with the residents’ vocabulary and knowledge to be more efficient in future adaptation plan.
CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS ON MALMÖ
Longer vegetation period, droughts and pests
Heavy showers in summer and winters without snow
Changes in Biodiversity
Sea level could reach 2.5m by the end of the century
Incesed in annual mean temperature of up to 5.2oc
Risk of Flooding
Heatwaves every year from 2070
Reduced water quality
:. Respondents answers to why the beach/shoreline will be threatened by climate change.
The two graphs represented were generated from the data collected from the interviewed respondents. Age groups define each group and how they responded to create a visual analysis of the results with the ‘Belief in Climate Change’ the constant variable. Within the graph ‘Belief in climate change and education level’ it is interesting to note that those with a higher level of education have a greater belief in the change in climate indicating that what people learn does impact how they perceive their surroundings. This was true for all the age groups except for the 46-55age bracket that indicated a lower average of higher education, but the highest belief in climate change. The reason for this can be seen in the ‘Belief in climate change and experienced climate change’ graphs which indicated that this group showed the highest percentage of experiencing some form of change in climate affecting their beliefs in the change in climate. This indicates that if there is an increased extreme climate events, there will be a higher proportion of individuals indicating that a change in climate is evident.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSES
Locations of value + Climate change impact location
Each interviewed respondent identified a location (circles) they valued and a location they perceived as at risk of climate change (triangles). These responses were geographically mapped out and linked with a line. These values were juxtaposed against each other to compare and contrast individual’s responses. Age data (coloured circles) was over-laid to identify whether age played a role in an individuals’ response which was deemed to be negative. Based on individual’s responses seven zones were created and they identified values displayed.
CONCLUSIONS
Sea level rise as the biggest threat
Education and information is key

GRASSLANDS ARENA WERRIBEE OPEN RANGE ZOO + HOLCIM AWARDS ENTRY: PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Serval presentation is a well visited attraction of the zoo, and the reason for several complaints from discontent visitors who couldn’t get to the presentation due to the “limited” number of seats. There is another issue related to the seats that is the fact that they are all in the same level, in a way that the spectators in the back have an unprivileged view. During the whole year the zoo offers one serval presentation per day. The spectators have to arrive 20 minutes earlier and wait outside the building for the gate to be opened. There is no planned waiting area for the spectators, which can cause some people agglomeration on the paths, making it difficult for other visitors who are making their tour through the zoo. That happens mainly in peak days. During two weeks in the winter the zoo offers the visitors the opportunity to come and experience the nightlife of the wild animals. During those two weeks there are 2 serval presentations per night. The lack of a waiting area makes it difficult to organize the entrance and exit of spectators when changing one public for another.
SCOPE:
Detailed design and planning of space including: - Space for 500 spectators - Mural and presentation area designed to transport the spectators to the servals habitat. - Joined presentation area and seating area, in a way that spectators feel part of the scenario rather than outside spectators. - Inclusion of the “Beads for Wildlife” in the design. - Drip irrigation system for the plants in the presentation area. - Water stream - Use recycled/repurposed materials - Exit doors that permit spectators to exit presentation wile it is going on with¬out presenting a risk of the animal escaping. - Seats in different levels. - Use of endangered grassland species to design the presentation area.
CONSIDERATIONS + RISKS
- The animal may need a while to familiarize with the new environ mental conditions of the presentation area. - Construction costs exceed estimates.

BEADS FOR WILDLIFE & THE SAVANNAH MURAL The Savannah mural acts as the backdrop to the grasslands arena, depicting the interrelationship between communities that benefit from the Beads for Wildlife initiative & wild servals in Northern Kenya. The lifestyle choice of Kenyan families impacts directly on serval’s welfare, since this African cat competes with livestock for natural resources. By training women from these communities in business skills and bead-work production, the Beads for Wildlife program provides them alternative income to support their families, who therefore rely less on livestock. This represents a pursuit of a more environmentally & socially sustainable community and ensures that the serval species does not become endangered. The mural can be de-constructed into three components; its left side illustrates the Melako people in close-up portraits wearing their bead-work, revealing unique characters full of personality. The astonishing jewellery carries with it a beautiful story: green beads represent the grass and reflects growth; white reflects the purity & health of milk; red brings strength like the life-blood of animals. The right side reproduces the serval in its natural habitat, the African savannah. Here the serval astutely uses the difference in the slope of the terrain to its advantage, as a lookout point to seek for possible prey. The centre of the mural assembles the very essence of both stories: It characterises a hybrid being, a serval with Melako spirit. The serval stands majestic & wild, with big ears to hear across the African plain, which makes perfect sense for North Kenyan warriors. It wears a Melako garb and the marvellous bead-work of this singular community.

POP-UP PARK
IUCN WORLD PARKS CONGRESSSYDNEY 2014 COMPETITION ENTRY As the world strives towards a greener future, as cities become larger and denser, public open space becomes increasingly VITAL. Wherever urban parks are situated, be it in developed or developing cities, their importance remains the same. From combating obesity to providing children a place to play, the health benefits of urban parks are many. Landscape architects, with other design professions, can greatly increase people’s access to this important public amenity and increase the benefits people receive from it. Urban parks’ main contribution is HEALTH. Health benefits from both the people who use it and the wider environmental health BENEFITS that parks create. Urban parks can improve not only the physical health of users but mental health too. This access to nature these parks provide can aid in combating increasing mental illnesses, particularly in developed countries where mental illness is on the rise. Our pop up park allows for a strong interaction with the natural environment, be it through reflective mirrors, chain fountains or message boards. This interaction can enhance the health benefits received from this park as the user is actively ENGAGED WITH NATURE. Our park encourages people of all ages to explore their playful side, this has been achieved again through the use of mirrors and message boards but it also encourages people to explore amongst the vertical pot plants, immersing themselves amongst nature.

This restorative health principle is in practice at the newly built Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. The hospital integrates the large urban park that it sits on the edge of. The building creeps into the park allowing
A- IMMERSIVE VEGETATION
for an immersive natural experience from the hospital bed. This is complemented with small pocket parks scattered throughout the hospital. This highlights how strong of a connection nature plays in increasing health. As landscape architects SUSTAINABILITY is often an issue dealt with on a day-to-day basis, as with other fields within the industry. Therefore we should strive to demonstrate how we could increase the health of not only of ourselves but also of the environment, to achieve environmental sustainability. Our pop up park achieves this by clearly demonstrating that a park can be made up of recycled and reclaimed materials, most notably from the construction industry that comprises a large proportion of Australia’s landfill. We have used elements that are TOO OFTEN buried and discarded as building rubble, such as pipes, roofing, metal and timber. This has been done in a way to emphasis these materials, not to disguise them as something else and have a sign explaining how it is recycled, but in a way that it is obvious from simply observing it that it is recycled. Our HEALTH is important. The health of the ENVIRONMENT is important. Urban parks play a pivotal role in improving the health of both. Our park achieves both of these goals through its playful active engagement of its users with nature through to its use of recycled construction rubble that comprise its built elements.

HARBOURING POTENTIAL Industrial Symbiosis NORTHERN HARBOUR- MALMÖ SWEDEN + RESTVÄRMERÄVLING
(RESIDUAL HEAT COMPETITION ENTRY)
Malmö’s Northern harbour has great potential to become a leading example of sustainable development and a model for industrial green initiatives in Northern Europe. By showcasing itself as a committed leader in endorsing environmentally friendly technologies, Malmö can help to generate a new industrial image for port cities.
C
OMPETITION
This proposal explores the possibilities of collaborative symbioses with existing key industries located in the Northern harbour including SYSAV waste-to-energy and utility provider, E-on. The recommendation of new prospective businesses that share the same green perspective with the Copenhagen-Malmo Port and the City of Malmö are key to creating a successful symbiotic relationship. A major component of this symbiosis is utilizing the abundance of low-grade heat for local aquaculture and greenhouse agriculture. Additionally, there is a need to find a sound connection between industry and the development of ecological infrastructure such as storm water management and green corridors.
In order to become a sustainably competitive port, the northern harbour must reduce its environmental impact and improve the efficiency of complex logistics both on and off site. This opportunity will allow the port to increase use of available renewable energy solutions such as wind and solar power, as well as the ability to become a potential leader in exploring emerging technologies. To truly address sustainability, the development of the Northern harbor must tie in with both local and national environmental objectives. Improving air quality through emission reduction, creating a rich built environment for residents and visitors, and thoughtful protection of coastal ecosystems are among some of the benefits this sustainable development will provide.
The Malmö Industrial Symbiosis is the sharing of services, utilities and by-product resources among industries in the Northern Harbour. The symbiosis chain focuses to add value, reduce costs and improve the environment for the companies.

The vision for the symbiosis in Malmö Harbour is to make the area more sustainable and transparent for the people in Malmö. Looking out from the new Industrial info center in the harbour, you can have an overview of the new collaboration and physical connections. The Knowledge Center will connect and inspire the citizens of Malmö to a new way of industrial thinking. We state that there is ‘no waste only resources’. The industrial symbiosis is a statement where industries choose to collaborate to make a change for a more sustainable world.
