| INTENT |
| RESOLUTION |
• Explore the unique position Wyndham has in the broader industrial, urban and non-human environment
Expressed through the monumentalization of movement, the design translates Wyndham’s role as the epicentre of new urban expansion. In a Western regional context, its urban boundaries ‘creep’ towards a collision with surrounding cities in the future. This future collision phenomenon will be visible as one oscillates through the continuum of Geelong road.
• Monumentalize movement • Highlight the relationship Wyndham and the highway share with urbanism, industry and nature.”
The structure reflects a commentary on the urban expansion of the Wyndham region as it expands outwards to carve its own identity in Melbourne’s Western Metropolitan region.
