Our ign orant interferen ce onto th e natural lan dscape have disrupted th e many ecologies within it an d we are n ow fa ced with two dire crisis- climate chan ge an d biodiversity loss, due to expansion of urban settlem ents, in dustrial developm ents, an d a gricul ture. With our rapid population grow th, m ore than half of us will be livin g in urban settlem ents, which is on e of th e major causes of th e extin c tion crisis due to habitat loss an d f ra gm entation. Thus, this th e sis design proj ec t looks at Brisban e City to study ways such a growin g city could improve as an examplar y green city an d chan ge th e way we live to mitigate th e m ention ed global issues.

Th ere are three main sustainable an d so cial impa c t goals of th e projec t an d th ey are - to en coura ge nature conn ec tedn ess between humans an d n on-human spe cies, buildin g climate resilien ce of th e city through mitigations an d a daptations, an d rewildin g - to put balan ce ba ck in favour of wild nature, which is our ver y own suppor t system. Th e projec t proposal in cludes th e embedm ent of wildlife corridors within th e existin g urban fabric as well as providin g an urban wildlife rehabilitation fa cility an d ecological park that n ot only contributes to th e conser vation but en ga ges an d educates th e public about it an d th eir roles in th e m ovem ent .

Urban Ecological Rin g A mappin g analysis of Brisban e City was done in different scales - local goverment area, area of focus and area of intervention. Upon the exercise - as seen from image above, existing natural corridors such as rivers, creeks and its riparian edges are highlighted in green. Highlighted in purple lining the edges of the City Centre forms the proposed ecological ring which would be the preliminary phase of a wider ecological wildlife network across Brisbane City. This ring consists of five different corridor typologies embedded onto our existing infrastructures. They are the urban street, structural bridge, waterfront, railway corridor and residential street.

Alignin g with Brisban e City Coun cil
Phase 01 Th e purple lin es are th e corridors of th e rin g. This will be th e First Phase of a wider Wildlife Network of th e city in approximately 5 years.
The wildlife network proposed aligns with brisbane city council’s clean, green, and sustainable 2031 goals.
Phase 02 Upon success, it can be applied to th e rest of th e city, creatin g oth er direc t conn ections as phase 02 , in an oth er 10 years. Phase 03 L astly, phase 03 is about providin g al ternative routes with an oth er 15 years.

On e of its goals is to ‘grow an d conn ec t its natural areas to protec t its rich biodiversity ’ wh ere 40% of its mainlan d is covered by natural habitats an d 75% of brisban e’s natural habitat is conn ec ted an d h eal thy. The proposal aims to achieve its targets in advance with accompanied so cio-economic benefits, increasing brisbane’s liveability.

On ce th e largest coal-f ired power station in New South Wales, th e h erita ge -listed beh em oth of Wan gi Wan gi, in th e City of L ake Ma cquarie, was decommission ed in 1986 . Sin ce th en, th e power plant sat as an iconic post-in dustrial ruin bein g docum ented an d appropriated by various sub - cul tures of th e suburb, region, an d tim e scape. However, also seen as a derelic t an d an imposin g giant brick struc ture, Wan gi Power Station have been con demn ed for its existen ce by econ omists an d capitalists ever sin ce. To save th e buildin g an d preser ve its value to th e community, a proposal for a daptive reuse with an urban program was curated in its current form. Wan gi power station today is a regular site am on gst th e youth for illicit a c tivities
48
such as urban exploration, parkour, graff iti ar t an d base jumpin g. This sh ows that th e buildin g is n ot just a derelic t but also h olds hidden value to a marginalized group of people. Takin g a dvanta ge of its vast spa ce an d raw decayin g chara c ter, it is an invitation to street spor ts an d rebellin g youths. Proposed as an avenue for street spor ts an d youth cul ture, th e empty power station is a great pla ce to h old various self- organised spor ts like skateboardin g, parkour, rock- climbin g, basketball, street soccer an d street f ightin g. To invite communities, social spa ces an d informal congregation areas are distributed through out th e buildin g an d is strategically pla ced between th e different fun c tions to lower th e thresh old for par ticipation an d exploration of th e a c tivities.

Th e projec t challen ges design thinkin g through exploration, in detail, th e three - dim ensional qualities of sec tions, to develop a strategy for urbanism an d th e creation of a public urban spa ce. Platforms are exten ded f rom th e existin g floors to h ost th e different primar y fun ctions. Th ese platfa orms are exten ded in a mann er wh ere it creates a series of open volum es with wire m esh fen cin g. Th e m esh fen cin g allows visual conn ec tivity between th e different a c tivities to en ga ge with ea ch oth er. This create a spa ce wh ere people can m eet an d intera c t a cross th e different a c tivities an d inspire n ew relations. Even people wh o would probably n ever cross paths in th e n ormal world. A void is also ma de in th e middle por tion of th e power station to expose th e coal h op pers. Th e coal h opper is used as a ba ckdrop an d a symbol of h erita ge which also creates identity for th e n ew program an d th e culture within th e power station. This gives a sense of belon gin g am on gst th e youth participatin g in th e power station. left right 52

Livin g in th e Anthropocen e, our hyper- dominant human a c tivities have largely impa c ted th e climate an d env iron m ent .

By embra cin g th e nature of mullets an d th e pra c tice of a symbiotic co - existen ce, four key prin ciples were de rived to shape th e projec t . Th ey are a daptability, flexibility, mutualism, an d restoration, which is also th e

Comm onweal th, a Sin gaporean n eighbourh ood enrich ed with th e countr y ’s histor y an d cul ture ,is wh ere th e pio n eer batch of mul ti-level public h ousin g also kn own as Housin g an d Developm ent Board (HDB) flats was buil t an d is still existin g on site alon g with its elderly occu pants. Th e un derlyin g design issue is th e potential social segregation between th e existin g elderly occupants an d th e n ew youn g er families that is boun d to happen due to th e huge jump in h ousin g a dvan cem ents an d th e gen eration gap. A con cept of a cceptan ce of th e people of th e site is th en construc ted to create a positive presen ce between th e existin g an d th e n ew n eighbours. Acceptan ce be twee n th e people can be a chieved through appreciation an d empathy. This educates th e youn ger gen eration about Comm onweal th’s histor y an d to familiarise th e existin g people of th e pres ent day ’s developm ents an d a dvan cem ent as well as daily lifestyle.
88
On e of th e strategies is to preser ve th e pe destrian habits of th e existin g people. Th e n ew developm ent is design ed n ot to ob struc t th e daily walkin g path of th e peo ple towards th e market . It is sh own that th ere is appreciation of th e existin g peo ple by respon din g to th eir daily habits. An oth er strategy is to implem ent a communal an d social integration by inputtin g a c tivities wh ere both gen erations are able to conn ec t an d en ga ge. Ac tivities that re flec t th e historic lifestyle of th e s ite such as Ch ess Table area an d Tai Chi a rea that en ga ges with existin g people an d youthful a c tivities for th e n ew gen erations such as Tree Exhibit area, Urban Farmin g area as well as Rea din g area for both gen era tions to enjoy. L astly, to remin d th e youn g gen eration of Comm onweal th’s histor y an d cul ture, th e sky terra ce f ram es th e view of th e surroun din g pion eer buildin gs’ skylin e. This skylin e view is a visual reflec tion of Com m onweal th’s histor y of th e pion eer batch of HDB flats an d h ow much Sin gapore have improved an d developed over th e years.
