THE A0 MAP THE FINAL MAP & INVISIBLE CITIES_NETWORKS
The world is defined by different networks; the internet, the social network, and the transportation network, even though our body could have systematically functioned as a network. What network do Melbourne has? Is it its food, culture or people who live in the city? Or is it the landscape, the trees and river? What is hidden under the city's skin? To access the MARL route through thinking of those network, I apply this node-to-node relationship with edges links as the skeleton of my map. By using the network in MARL, I found out more potential possibilities under its surface map. The possibilities were those existing questions or responses from people against those problems. The final A0 Map is collecting all the networks found from each task. The colour bar on the right summarizes the early discovery of colour found from the SkyBus route. Colours, nodes, and linkage are the three main components that I left in the final map. They represent the relationship, connection, and appearance of architecture and how they respond to each other. Although it is the end of this semester's research, the map was still in progress, and I will carry it to my subsequent research.

THE GATEWAY THE GATEWAY NETWORK AND THE SITE
IN THIS LAND, WE MAY CALL IT MARIBYRNONG OR BRIMBANK. IT HAS A MOTEL, A PLAYGROUND, A PARK FOR PARTY AND THE TRAIN RAIL.
A gateway network is a connection between each person coming to Melbourne and the city of Melbourne itself. The detail fragment I found from the site represents the perception of Melbourne, but it also reflects a view of what life is like by living in the town. Those are the primary aims for the gateway design to achieve. Thus, a complete streetscape drawing on both sides of the train rail would be more relevant to present later how the gateway would fit in its position.

Glass Concrete A study of the current Melbourne gateway, understanding its color, size, and repeating pattern, indeed follows the site context.

I maintain some of the features from the existing gateway, including its color selection and pattern, but transform it into a new material with a more light, transparent mesh texture. I would like to have more interaction between both sides of the gateway. The gateway itself also acts as a role of protection and an event place for habitants.

THE GATEWAY INVISIBLE CITIES_THE LITTLE BOY'S JOURNEY
The 5-year-old kid, who travels from Melbourne Airport to CBD by Skybus, does not know what is awaiting him along his route. He catches along the way: the bright window, the green-yellow wall, the long yellow ribbon, and the red stick embedded into the ground. He is thinking about what magnum opus he would be able to construct.
When the transport approaches the city, he attempts to catch the town utilizing his precious crystal ball. The city went topsy turvy. The kid who has not been into the Science class would not know about a figure behind this appearance. He contemplated whether the city was attempting to disclose to him that there are cherishes underground. The city is utilizing its sorcery ability to send this message to him. Was it the land, the tree, the waterway, or the creek? The kid does not realize that the Moonee Ponds creek follows him along his way on the Skybus. The Maribyrnong River likewise invited the new guest on the land from a distance of three miles away. It runs 160 kilometres from its auntie's home Mount Macedon back to its mom's embrace Port Phillip Bay and mentions to its mum the new guess.

THE GATEWAY INVISIBLE CITIES_A WORKING MAN
Who are you? You get up at 7:10 am while the alarm wakes you up. Your one-year-old daughter might wake earlier than you, so you are helping your wife, finishing your morning routine with taking care of your daughter – a quick workout, shower, and get dressed to work. In front of your house, there is a bus stop. Lucky that you can take the bus to work in the Melbourne CBD, so you do not need to find a parking spot. You are sitting on the bus or maybe sitting, but everyone is watching on their phone. No one realizes the silhouettes of the town outside of the window, but you realize that. The old red brick houses, playgrounds with children playing, grassland, and birds are flying. You are a person working for the government from 9 am to 5 pm business hours. During lunchtime, you stroll along a busy Lygon Street and wander into those ice cream shops and Italian restaurants. You are killing time by buying a piece of cake. Maybe you do not like eating sweets, but you would love to have a sweet little moment in your day.
Glass Concrete Mesh
Taking the train coming in every 30 minutes and a 5minute walk, you arrived home. Play a bit with your little daughter and help your wife to cook. After finishing dinner, you chill your day by watching a video from Netflix, and Tomorrow is your weekend. You are planning to go for a walk with your family in an outdoor park.
You go to bed at 10 pm. A day of living in Melbourne carved into your memory.

ALBION FLYOVER STUDY OF BUCKLEY ST LEVELCROSSING REMOVAL PROJECT

ALBION FLYOVER THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK & THE SITE
The network that I found from this land is a transportation network, which has a footpath, bike path, train rail, driveway all connect on the same point; therefore, a conjunction of those passages occur. THE LAND HAS A ROAD CALL HARVARVESTER ROAD. THE TOWN WAS USED TO HAVE A FACTORY NAMED JOHN DARLING FLOUR MILLS.
Heritage that surrounding on the conjunction would become the layer that add into the background.
IT IS THE ALBION STAION - HAVING AN UNDER-GROUND FOOTPATH WITH THE DIRT WALL AND DARK YELLOW LIGHTINGS AT NIGHTTIME.
21
ALBION FLYOVER PROJECT DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSE
The Albion flyover will be around 18m in height at its highest point over Ballarat Road (26m high including overhead wiring structures) and located around 31 metres away from the John Darling flour mills.
My response to the build of the flyover is that its unchangeable feature is manipulating the landscape to have a new contour. The bridge has flattened the existing contour. Considering the unsustainable quality of a concrete bridge, I was looking for an alternation for those bridges, which are more recyclable material, and no need to change in height to build those passages.
22
ALBION FLYOVER PLAN & SECTION
Filling the gap between bridges through installations pneumatic devices was my intention to communicate my confusion of those passages, questioning their necessity and sustainability. Technically, it is impossible to use the pneumatic devices as a bridge, but I aimed to find a new material that could swop the current bridge into a more recyclable bridge. The pneumatic devices also provide a consolidated and interchangeable imagination of human activity within those spaces.

ALBION FLYOVER INTERIOR & EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE VIEW
As Langdon Winner mentioned in his writing, 'nothing is "required" in an absolute sense in the world with human-make and maintain the artificial system.' Whether an overpass or underpass is being built, accepted or not, it is more important to learn and think of it differently.

ALBION FLYOVER INVISIBLE CITIES_CYCLING
When a group of young people cycled a long time from Melbourne city to arrive on the Maribyrnong viaduct, they felt the humanity of the land. The land flows with you by crossing the street, climbing uphill, and running down from a hill. In Melbourne, when you ride a bike, ride on the left-hand side of the road, obey lights and signs and signal while turning around. If you cycle at night, you must have lights on your bike. The light will shine through your whole way, guiding you the way home. The fresh air, blowing their best whisper on you. Sometimes they might not be that nice. On a windy day, sand and soil may crash on your face. Nevertheless, you feel completion when a stop is a stop. After riding hours by hours, they finally arrive on the Maribyrnong.

MARIBYRNONG RIVER VIADUCT PLANS & SECTION
A station network tells the station as a gateway opening itself to this area. After studying the site, there are three critical components of the station: - The heritage Maribyrnong Bridge – its structure - The landscape and plants - A new function for the station

IT IS A FOOD COURT. I CAN EAT HERE OR TAKEAWAY FOOD BEFORE GO HOME. THIS IS THE END OF MY TRIP.
32
MARIBYRNONG RIVER VIADUCT INVISIBLE CITIES_FOOD Heading to the heart of Melbourne to find some food, you will have a surprise in the Melbourne Shopping Central, which has more than one food court separate on each floor. The inclusive Melbourne has accepted thousands of refugees settled after the Vietnam War and another historical period. Therefore, you would find lamb roast, banh mi, Gozleme, and meat pie in the food court. Those food has told stories from different cultural backgrounds. The new function for the space is to have a food court. Container food, car and take away food has become the new activity people do daily. It is a critical link that links all the components together. Food is a dai ly necessity for humans. How could we define its relation to architecture? How do we use the space for cooking food and storing food? Moreover, how does it have a connection with a station? Having those questions was the project giving me a start. Answering those questions would be my next step in continuing the project.

THE TRAIN CAR
INVISIBLE CITY_THE TREES
The trees are not only what they are in the Garden. Its branch and leaves indicate their life and growth along with time. It is hard to tell the difference of the tree between the last second and the next second, but you will be able to demonstrate so from ten years ago until now, just like the city of Melbourne. It is always steady and stays firm in its position on the ground. The seed of the city was planted on the land thousand years ago. While the ice age period, the city started digging its root into the land and was willing to open its heart to every stranger.
When your eye has captured its sign of growing, they remain as your memory has recorded they are. Nevertheless, when they leave their signal on your impression, they are no longer silent or interchangeable objects.

INVISIBLE CITY_ORNAMENT
What is the architecture decorating Melbourne? Was it the Flinders Street station or the State Library? Was it the National Museum or the National Gallery? Travel to Melbourne. There are places that you do not want to miss as a traveler. While facades of buildings became an ornament to decorate the city, what history of those buildings become? When a building gets old, what makes us decide to knock it down or protect it as a heritage? What is heritage? The train car task is about redesigning the interior train car. My focus is on considering the relationship between the seating arrangement, the window view, and the wall decoration in the task. Therefore, want to create a different atmosphere by changing those elements to the train. However, reflecting on the feedback given in the final, I realize ornament has become the significant component dominant within my entire thought process. What was the role of ornament within architecture? How does ornament respond to the space and form would then create a practical impact? Furthermore, how to define the impact is practical or not? Those are the questions that I should have an answer to. The method to find an answer for those questions may through 1. Analysing more historical work and finding out how ornament displays themselves in different historical architectural studies, learn from the past. 2. More experiment on ornament application We are aiming to find out the meaning and more affectable new way to apply ornament to architecture.
