Site to concept
Hot air Wind
Vesicular texture is a volcanic rock texture
characterized by a rock being pitted with many cavities (known as vesicles) at its surface and inside. This is extended to the process of formation of western plain.
Cool surface
Advection is wind driven fog formation. In
this case warm air is pushed by winds across a cool surface where it condenses into fog. There is also fog formed over bodies of water.

Schematic section
The wind of Melbourne changes a lot in season along with air pressure. The simulation is showing that most high-rise buildings in city are forming wind tunnels for wind to go through at higher speed.

Base plan on grids
Upper plan blurring grids
The base plan of the site is laid out on grids and rationally oragnized with three densities to meet the requirement of urban plaza, windbreak garden, and central clearing.
The nature elements, or phenomenon in site are blurring the grids made for rationalization of the spaces. They seem more random and free.

Low - High - Low is the order of tree selection, the order creates the contrast and makes the central clearing higher and biger than before.
Grassy plaza
Vertical elements generating fog with gathering lawn for people to stay.
Central clearing
Windbreak garden
Shrubs and ponds are genarated with base terrain and the need for windbreak.
Sound
Smell The base terrain underneath is concave-convex for lowing down the speed and collecting runoff when rain comes.
Color
Three experience The base plan create three sense experience in terms of the adjcent buildings , views, and streets. The upper plan mainly organize the vertical experience of space transition.
