however not consistent across suburbs. Within the study area Carlton, Fitzroy and Collingwood fall well below this target. A further gap analysis suggests that open space catchments do not cover the entirety of the study site. This is partially due to the catchments being cut off due to major road barriers (Smith Reserve and Triangle Park). Along with the impact of the road barrier is reduction in amenity associated with open space next to a high traffic

The final week 14 submission was an individual Urban Design Framework (UDF), a refinement and compilation of work to date. Rebecca Fitzgerald and I continued to work together during this phase of refinement, although completed separate final documents with differing executive summaries and site analysis.

Objectives were drawn directly from issues identified during the site analysis phase. In particular, the underuse of open space within the site, large traffic volumes creating an unpleasant pedestrian and cyclist environment, inactive interfaces, low built density and municipality wide population growth. These objectives went through a group refinement process following our preliminary vision submission. Our original vision was not place specific and lacked an inspiring concept. It was during this refinement phase that the concept of the backyard was introduced to the project. Once this was incorporated into the vision statement and objectives our ideas of how to activate and programme the space became much more exciting. As a group we produced an extensive list of ideas and functions that the space could incorporate that then had to be cut down.

2.4 Recreation Zone
2.5 Commercial & Agricultural Zone
An opportunity is provided by the development of the East-West Link to reduce traffic volumes along Alexandra Parade that currently negatively impacts north south connections and the general amenity of adjoining spaces. There is the ability to reclaim road space and the passive and inaccessible median strip and instead put the space to valuable community use. The reclaimed space will stretch from the Yarra River in Clifton Hill to Moonee Ponds Creek in Flemington creating a linear park to strengthen green connections. For the residents of Fitzroy and North Fitzroy, this section of the Alexandra Parade linear park (Brunswick street to Smith Street) will become their Urban Back Yard, providing all the functionality and recreational value of a private backyard in the public realm. As the inner city residential population grows and built form intensifies there is a loss of private open space, placing additional pressure on existing community infrastructure for recreational needs and little space for traditional backyard functions. This space will cater for the diverse needs of the vibrant population, providing numerous play spaces such as a Hills Hoist playground, tree houses, cricket nets, and a community rumpus room. There are also spaces to grow and learn within the citrus orchard, agriculture zone and Native Australian Garden. The site also provides spaces to create and share within the flexi-space for community markets and skate and art park.

Feature iconic elements of the Australian backyard such as the hills hoist, shed, herb and vegetable garden, BBQ deck, tree houses and cricket pitches. This public space will replace the private backyard for a modern space poor neighbourhood.
The alternative culture of Fitzroy and North Fitzroy reflected in the inclusion of legal graffiti walls, a skate park, and a flexible space that can be utilised for cultural events, etc.

The native Australian garden will have a two-fold function as a recreational landscape and as a cultural museum. The open-air museum will narrate the Aboriginal history of Fitzroy and North Fitzroy alongside traditional Australian landscape.

The six objectives are followed by a detailed set of guidelines, approximately 5 – 7 for each. These guidelines expand upon and give detail as to how to realise the objectives and were developed as a group.

IMPLEMENTATION: Due to the scale of this project the development was thought about in four stages and across four categories, connectivity, built form, space activation and temporary programming. The first phase would begin with the completion of the East-West Link and consist of car lane reduction and introduction of the Linear Park. The next three stages are based around the three zones discussed throughout the UDF guidelines (land scape and open space zones, commercial and agricultural zone and recreation zone). Along with the activation of these spaces would be increased built density on key development sites. Temporary programming was seen as key to changing the public’s perception and engaging them with the project. Contributions from the East West Link contractor as well as private development on State owned sites (Gas Works, Recycling Depot & Smith Reserve) were considered for funding as well as State and Local Government contributions.

The design was approached with the concept of the car as a piece of artwork and the architecture as a means of framing and displaying these mechanical sculptures. Barlow Motors will house both the latest available and classic vintage cars. The individual nature and style of each car will be defined and accentuated as they are housed in individual showrooms across both the façades of the building on both La Trobe and Mackenzie street. The proposed building for Barlow Motors has utilised the mechanical car lift and automated parking system as the primary method of vehicle movement access across the showroom and service centre. The parking tower is accessed from Mackenzie street and involves a turntable style access point for the total 300 spaces across the 10 levels. The internal lift that services the multi level showroom has the same structural aesthetic to that of the parking tower, tying the two different styles together into one.
