VISION STATEMENT
The site analysis shows that the Study Area is shaped by the significant trees, historical links and conservations that characterizes and influenced the identity of the site. Our group development envisions to embrace the identity of the site and use these elements to design an environment that will further give not just the current identity but also new identities to the site. Cultural values, Historical links, Cultural landscapes, quality of life and sense of places should consider through the development of Glenside. Our intention is to develop an environment with spaces where communities can be proud of where they are living but also to bring people together in an area where they can share about their stories, life and plans. We proposed interactive spaces that we believe it will form unity to the community.

OBJECTIVES OF GLENSIDE DEVELOPMENT
CONNECTED URBAN NEIGHBOURHOOD The objective of Glenside is to design a unique urban hub consisting of high quality public locations to achieve an identity of a connected community. Therefore, a layout design which showcases the social interaction, vibrancy and safety of such a community is important in the masterplan of Glenside. http://blog.blockbrief.com/green-light-for-new-709-million-urban-neighbourhood-in-sydney/
HERITAGE AND TREES Heritage sites within Glenside includes five buildings and one boundary wall, which carries potential opportunities to be reused as unique focal points of the study area. Retaining the original tree plantings is also an important element as it has significant environmental value and provides recognition towards open and recreation spaces. https://www.nparks.gov.sg/~/media/nparks-real-content/gardens-parks-and-nature/heritage-trees/suggested-activities/screensavers/raintreeoldbirdcagewalk.jpg
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION Providing engagement opportunities forms a bridge of mutual communication between the community and the developer, as the community’ s view is important to achieve the best result in the long-run. A strong interest of community process will strengthen the Glenside vision statement of providing a diverse and connected urban hub to all its future residents. https://www.nsw.gov.au/news-and-events/news/community-housing-providers-to-manage-social-housing/

OBJECTIVES OF GLENSIDE DEVELOPMENT HOUSING DIVERSITY
To achieve a connected urban community, Glenside development will incorporate a range of innovative and affordable housing catered for people from all walks of life. In addition, creating a diverse scope of housing designs that adapts to the needs of residents will create a sustainable environment that is different from the norm. http://cached.imagescaler.hbpl.co.uk/resize/scaleWidth/460/offlinehbpl.hbpl.co.uk/news/RMP/placemakingabode-20150610094817726.jpg
ENVIRONMENT AND OPEN SPACE Glenside aims to promote sustainable living by creating an environment of open space as a focus for social interactions between neighbors while supporting a safe, healthy and connected community. Open spaces and a green infrastructure system support the enhancement of biodiversity within a metropolitan. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Urban_open_space
PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT Investment remains an important aspect of projects of such scale as it facilitates project growth as well as job growth. It also provides an opportunity for the private sector to work with the government to modify such a site into a diverse community. http://blog.blockbrief.com/green-light-for-new-709-million-urban-neighbourhood-in-sydney/

LONG AND SHORT-TERM VIEWS LONG-TERM VIEWS
The government’s long term view mainly emphasis on the future growth of Adelaide. Long-term strategic planning, coordinated action and sustainable investment are important in planning successful cities. Therefore, in long term, the government hoped that the 30 Year Plan would help Adelaide grow to become a more livable, competitive and sustainable city.
With Adelaide being stated as one of the most affordable and livable places in Australia, it can attract more people to live in Adelaide. However, the continuing of the urban sprawl can lead to longterm cost for the community such as increase in congestion and increase in cost of living pressure for new homebuyers. Therefore, it is vital to limit the urban sprawl to the existing footprint.
Government also plans on maximizing the efficient use of infrastructure. It is important to make sure that the long-term land use can help improve certainty for government agencies, private sector and community. In supporting continuous economic growth, this is important as investments decision-making is improved and the usage of public and private resources is more efficient.
The government also encourages collaborations with industry and community in creating a healthy, resilient and beautiful urban landscape that sustain and connect people with plants and places using green infrastructure. In addition, it is important to protect Adelaide’s water supply catchments areas from inappropriate development to ensure the long-term water security. The government plans on implementing policies that promote the use of alternative water supplies for new development.
Diverse range of housing markets allows Adelaidean to have a variety of lifestyles. This indirectly helps in the long –term future growth of Adelaide.
The governments encourage energy and water efficiency, encourage greener infrastructure and enable supply and use of alternative energy. Other than that, the government promotes waste management, reduction, recycling and reuse and adopt best practice waste management design and systems in high-density residential and mixed used development.
In mitigating against and adapt to the chancing climate, to improve Adelaide’s capacity for ongoing future resilience to climate change, the government encourages and enables the establishment and expansion of green industries, technologies and building innovation.

CONSULTATION PROCESS
Renewal SA and Cedar Woods Properties Limited partnered together to conduct the community consultation on the preliminary master plan for the Glenside development. With a focus on five key areas; Open space and significant trees, community spaces and recreation, heritage preservation, housing diversity and traffic impact.
A total of 2,422 individuals, ranging from local residents and business owners, to potential buyers and investors, responded with feedback and inquires via different mediums.
ROAD ALTERATIOS
DIVERSE HOUSING
SIGNIFICANT TREES & OPEN SPACE
alterations proposed by Renewal SA’s report were supported by the community’s responses, with suggestions to have traffic signals at Fullarton and additional vehicles feeding into it, as well as on Greenhill, and Amber Woods feeding into Conyugham. Ideas of having left in and out street access into Fullarton and Greenhill and to have a signaled intersection at the main avenue and Fullarton (adjacent to Foodland). There was also some concern about parking.
The community wants single storey rather than all the buildings be maximum of two storeys.
Response for keeping the significant trees and the open spaces for recreational activities were positive.
HERITAGE The responses showed a strong support to have the new design set in tone with the heritage buildings, as well as making sure to preserve its character and make sure they’re protected e.g. stonewall. There was discussion as to what the heritage buildings should be used for, such as; a public space, shops and cafes.
Higher density milt-storey developments be set back from the main road and a maximum height be reduced. Community responses proposed that the two-storey building components be set back a minimum of 7 meters as a common boundary with Victorian Groves Estate. It was opposed to build the high-rise buildings on Fullarton but rather to have it second or third back. A comment was made to have an over emphasis on the apartments, for some greater diversity.
Responses thought the renewal of the stormwater detention basin was of great importance in the masterplan. Question: open spaces could be a multiuse open space, community garden and the desire for the retention to the existing oval. Overall it was noted that the community want more information about what kind of parks are going to be built and what kind of equipment the parks would feature, as well as queries about the incorporation of bicycle paths within the development. Through the community consultation it remained obvious that those five points were still of great importance to the development of this project. The main accruing issue was with the management of traffic and the open spaces (in regard to amount and location) and house options (regard to building height). It was noted that the most popular topic was to keep the retention of trees, especially along Fullarton and Elms.

PROPOSED MASTERPAN
A city like Glenside is a potential city that can be developed into an attractive, sustainable, livable and vibrant city, including respecting the natural plants and the heritage buildings.
In order to bring the city to life, one of the aspects is to present the sense of ownership and community. For example, is through relationship of orientated buildings. With this, the residents are able to be near to each other and communicate since their windows or balconies are facing each other at different angles. Other than that, is have livable and vibrant surroundings. This will make the residents feel safe and socially connected with each other. Plus, this can lead to a healthy neighborhood. In addition, cities must be designed to promote health as it promotes healthy and happy people and community wellbeing, which is a place where everyone wants to live. Next, the public spaces need to be well planned so that the residents will find them useful and not abandoning them. This can be done by having a multi-use space such as a community garden. Excellent transport connection is one of the other aspect to have a better city. It is vital as its where the residents connect with each other every day.
Pedestrian connecting by having paths for bicycle and walkway as it encourages the people to exercise such as jogging, running and cycling. Moreover, is by changing the one-way streets to two ways street to have a comfortable pedestrian environment. Next is sustainable alternative transport which is by having public transport and bus stop near the Glenside area. This can encourage the people to move around with public transport and having less vehicles on the road. Thus, it can save the environment and avoid having traffic jam during peak hours. Maximize efficient use of infrastructure is important as it could lead to a better city. One of the examples is green infrastructure. This can be done by having greening laneways in between buildings, plants around buildings or sidewalks. With this, it can reduce flooding and have leafy places as shelter from hot days instead. In addition, the city will be cooler and leads to healthy environment.

MASTERPLAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The main pivotal space is located at the entrance to the development on Fullarton Road; the angled apartment buildings, significant trees and additional landscaping will shape the area. This will, in return present a welcoming entry that leads further into the development towards heritage buildings. The space features different types of seating areas for the community to engage with. With paths closest to the apartments having shading and vegetation to provide adequate privacy for the occupants of the lower level of the buildings. The second key space is located at the corner of Fullarton and Greenhill Road; the area features an - oval - playground and - BBQ equipment - benches and tables - 3 gazebos - parking spaces - greenhouse
FIGURE 7: MULTI-USE OPEN SPACES The development will feature four multi-use spaces for the public, each with distinctive elements that are shaped by an ambience of greenery.
Located beside the oval is a community greenhouse (estimated to be 2000m^2, intentions for this facility is to give a sense of ownership to the new and existing residents. Due to the playground location, as a safety measure, there will be a 2-meter-high fence will be built around Greenhill roadside and extra vegetation will also be used to frame around the playground.
The third space is located near Fullarton and Glen Osmond Road end of the development, next to the stonewall, this area invites for physical activities with basketball/ tennis courts that can be transformed into netball and volleyball courts. This area also includes one shelter shed, with tables and seating, trees located stand beside the courts as to provide natural shading. The fourth space is located around and across the Elms building; this section will focus on an open outdoor gathering space, with different levels of seating; a grass zone, benches and an Amphitheatre. Trees (cherry prunus) will be dispersed through the space to provide natural shading. Plant plotters will also be used to shape the areas, filled with native plants to Adelaide. The greenhouse is an important aspect of this space as it is designed to encourage, existing and new residents to establish a sense of ownership and work together as a community to create a thriving ecosystem. All the components of this space provide the community and visitors with numerous options to indulge in outdoor activates. Additionally, the area is inclined, thus is also stands as a storm water basin as to be a rainwater catchment to prevent any future flooding. GLENSIDE

MASTERPLAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM An addition of more trees will be planted along Fullarton to compensate for the ones removed as to make way for the dwellings and public spaces. Trees will also be placed along streets and roads in the development, furthermore providing a barrier of protection for pedestrian from vehicles. Throughout the development is fittingly arranged vegetation between street trees, public spaces and specifically along the area beside Fullarton.
FIGURE 9: SIGNIFICANT TREES & EXTRA LANDSCAPING The site will keep as many significant trees as possible, most of them being along Fullarton Road. These trees will be an important feature to the development as to create a terrarium within this suburban area.
Plants chosen are those that are native to the Adelaide plains; sticky hop bush, mount compass oak bush, clasping gardenia, short-leaf honey-myrtle and clustered bush-peas. Specially selected tree, the cherry prunus, has been placed in the open spaces located near the Elms building to add diversity and colour.

HISTORY AND THEORY
HISTORY TOPIC: “City Beautiful” movement - origin, leading thinkers, ideas, principles, literature, examples, influences, architectural and urba idioms, and critics. by Ping Xiu Gan ORIGIN In the span of forty years from 1860 till 1910, the population of the United States tripled in size to approximately 91.9 million, 46% of the American population reside in urban areas, thus, causing a strain to urban centers. Urban issues became more prominent as cities become larger, which cause cities to be deteriorated in the process, as it stretched to accommodate millions in crowded, dirty and countless poorly- structured buildings. The City Beautiful movement first occurred in 1893, in response to the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and faded as World War I approached. It was a nationwide attempt at the turn of the twentieth century by architects and planners to establish a sense of belief, that order, beauty and dignity into America’s urban planning to create an environment that could influence their behavior and thought, as the economic system of the city struggles, it no longer defines itself as a symbol of economic development and industrialization, but could now address the problems by enhancing the appearance of the environment. [1] EXAMPLES THE WHITE CITY AS A MODEL The White City was influenced by the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, a collaboration of an ideal model city that is protected from poverty and crime was created by a group of architects, landscape designers, and urban planners. MCMILLAN PLAN, WASHINGTON, D.C. Burnham, Saint-Gaudens, Charles McKim, Fredrick Law Olmsted, Jr., and Michigan Senator James McMillan who the plan was named after, all had been involved to certain extend in the McMillan Plan which was created in 1902, previously known as “The Improvement of the Park System of the District of Columbia.” The group researched by travelling to “great cities” in Europe, such as Vienna, Germany, and Paris, where they were impressed how articulated the city was, but also how the Versailles garden in Paris inspired the idea of Beaux-Arts style for the park and parkways in Washington. The monumental city planning uses the intention of city beautification to redesign, restore, and redevelopment the appearance of Washington’s monumental core, park, and parkway systems that was unattended in Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s original layout for the city. The idea was to create monumental neoclassical architecture in the Beaux-Arts form to substitute “notorious slum communities” that encircled the United States Capitol, in hopes that beautification and transforming would help increase property, business, economic reform, and civic pride, but also to ease the social disturbance that were occurring in the United States during that period. [2] The plan was to create a series of public gardens, a monumental core, a public National Mall, and eventually involved Burnham’s Union Station and Columbus Plaza. However, the heart of the design was on the Nation Mall itself. Even though, Word War I interrupted the construction of the McMillan Plan, it soon resumed after the war. INFLUENCE - - -
BURNHAM’S WIDE INFLUENCE LOCAL INFLUENCE INFLUENCE OTHER CITIES
ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN IDIOMS Beaux-Arts and neoclassical were the architectural and urban idioms used by the City Beautiful leaders. The Beaux-Arts style was used in the ideal civic centers, - BEAUX-ARTS - NEOCLASSICAL

HISTORY AND THEORY
AESTHETIC AND DESIGN THEORY: WHAT MAKES A DESIGNED OBJECT BEAUTIFUL. by Farah 3 ways good design makes you happy Reference: https://www.ted.com/talks/don_norman_on_design_and_emotion/transcript?language=en In his talk, Don Norman turns his incisive eye toward beauty, fun, pleasure and emotion, as he looks at design that makes people happy. He names the three emotional cues that a well-designed product must hit to succeed. People are always attracted to the designs of objects. For example, a water bottle. Some people usually buy it because of the bottle and not because of the water. When they finish the water, they’ll keep the bottle. This shows that even if the water is just plain water, a good design of the bottle can still attract people to buy it. Behavioral product is meant by how users of the object feel like they are in control of the object, which includes usability and understanding. A good design allows users to communicate with the object. This is meant by the user is able to understand the functionality of the object and are able to make full use of the design. Other than that, a good design is a design that can attract attention. For example, is one has already owned many different kind of cars, he or she will still buy a new one that can attract peoples attention due to the belief that the object or product is of good quality. Why are we attracted to beautiful things? Reference: https://crew.co/blog/why-are-we-attracted-to-beautiful-things/ Most of the people are attracted to simple, clutter-free and minimalist designs. Beautiful objects tend to have symmetry and simplicity in perfect harmony. The feeling of touching and experiencing something beautiful in life is somehow and entertainment to your mind. A good design is an efficient design. Attractive product gives the impression of being more efficient.
