W1_COGNITIVE MAPPING OF THE CONCRETE LAWN

W1_SENSE OF PLACE PHOTOMONTAGE OF THE CONCRETE LAWN HISTORICAL SENSE The University of Melbourne is founded in 1853. The site of Concrete Lawn was original the SMARSHY FLOODPLAIN of a small stream that ran from Princess Hill down Bouverie St.

In 1939, The first Melbourne University Union opened as National Gallery. Fcaing rapid urban expantion, the Public Works Department reclaimed the lake into UNION LAWN and allowed for several new buildings to spring up on its former edges.

From 1856, THE ORNAMENTAL LAKE was formed to drain the swampy ground at the top of the Bouverie Creek. The lake became the focal point and best recreation site of the campus.

SUN RIBBON SCULPTURE

In 1968, half of .the remaining Union Lawn was redesigned into a paved are (known as CONCRETE LAWN) to gain more use from the former marsh. The lawn has been set aside as open space in the University Master Plan.

FACADE MATERIAL Material of building facade of our site is unique and tractive. Especially rough-hewn freestone of Baldwin Spencer Building and sandstoone of the Bank of NSW. Glass surface of MSD building is fascinating too. The reflecting character of glass has great potentinal to be used into next design step.

OPPORTUNITIES: abstract spatial analysis helped me to gain a simple but direct sense of the

site. The abstract elements of the space can help with the redesign process of the site be much more flexible and creative when playing with volumes. Another potential released from this exercise is the spatial quality of different vegetation, which worth deep thinking for further design process. For example, what kind of spatial sense or volume I wanna create through the combination of vegetation.

pavement, especially the central area provides great opportunitiea for harvesting solar energy for the futue design.

OPPORTUNITIES: Rearrange the trees can make the micro climate of the site much more balance, while those large mature trees are hard to move and they actually need to be protected.

Drainage Pit + 42.37 Elevation Control Point Water Flow Contour Line

The site is located on a lower terrain and receives water from surrounding roads. Surface water are mainly collected through catchpits. Due to the blockage of raised concrete edges, water cannot be collected by the soil underneath the lawn area.

Raymond Priestlay Buildin g

This helps me to exame the current waterflow over the topograpgy and to understand how that might change with the introduce of the wetland.

Concrete Blockage

20m

The most heavy circulation route is between the Union House and the MSD building, making the middle concrete area a busy transit place. It also indicates that the main use of our site is as a throughfare, followed closely by people sitting, chatting or having quick meal at the site. It can be observed through the popularity of the pausing spaces, while the most popular pausing sites are the open lawn, garden beds and sitting areas at the southern side. Combine with pbservation with the EDGE analysis, we can tell that behaviour patterns strongly affected by the edge conditions, or the barrier condition. Which will create underutilised spaces such as the space in front of the theatre.

AFTER

1. Mature vegetaion on the site can be an opportunity and constraints at the same time cause they are hard to deal with. 2. It is necessary to consider the joint use of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles towards the site and minimize conflicts. 3. The large area of hard surface and the material can cause a recycle problem. It would be a challenge to reuse them smartly. 4. The constructed environment, surrounding buildings will lead to certain restrictions on site flexibility and breakthrough attempts.

Chilean architects Guillermo Hevia García and Can the ray of light in landscape be collected and Nicolás Urzúa have created a concealed garden controlled? or be deemed as the leading role of fenced in by distorting mirrors for the Santiago's space? In this small park, the white wall bears light Parque Araucano. and sets off shadow from many angles. and builds the simplest and most suitable stage for light.

Vegetation plays a significant role in blocking cold wind in winter, and this is one of the reasons why there are plant fences in the north. However, considering the sense of obstacles caused by fences to the space, it is worth thinking about how to block the cold wind through clever planting combinations, and save a flexible interface at the same time.

42.04+ 42.06+

The site is most affected by the north wind (cold, high speed) in winter. Buildings and dense vegetation on the north side function as a buffer zone, which weakens the effect of the cold north wind.

OPPORTUNITIES:

Tall trees and there huge canopies can provide effective shade in summer. And the central concrete paving area with massive pedestrain flow are exposed to the sun for a long time, resulting in lower level of thermal comfort.

CONSTRAINTS 4. By combining with the analysis of the circulation and edge condition of the site, the site is very introverted to some extent. The fence and shelter formed by plants on the periphery brings a very rigid boundary to the site. At this point, how to break through the existing sense of envelopment of the site to create a more flexible and adaptable space has great potential.

OPPORTUNITIES: there are not too many species around concrete lawn. One reason may due to the large area of concrete surface and mordern constructed environment, where human activities have great impact on natural environment. Secondly, we can tell from the elevation that the dominant vegetation of concrete lawn are tall trees, that is, there is a lack of lower shrubs. Multi-storied vegetation will help nurture richer biodiversity.

PLANTATION ANALYSIS

SITE ANALYSIS

The installation invites visitors to step into an enclosure where they will discover infinite reflections of grassy hillocks, shallow pools of water and wild flowers. Inside, the immediate surroundings are completely concealed– apart from high-rise buildings and overhead tree branches – and they are likely to encounter someone playing a piano, or other kinds of musical performers. Their aim was to create a sanctuary dedicated entirely to leisure, but that also encourages occupants to daydream. Now in place, the structure is formed of just three planes of 3.2-metre-high mirrored aluminium, which have been shaped to create concave and convex curves, both large and small.

Inspirations: 1. The use of mirror material to reflect the surrounding scenery is what attracts me the most about this project. 2. Different areas of landscape are framed by the various curved forms. In my next design stage, I can consider adopting this form of 'curvilinear wall', changing the height and degree of enclosure of the 'walls' to form different private or open spaces, or using the height of this structure to create rich visual connections. 3.Designers do not intend on building a closed proposal, but rather articulating a universe of sensations and experiences open to many interpretations.

Sunshine illuminates realistic barren. Inspirations: 1. The distinct color elements are scattered in the green site of park to render the abstract and strong space mood. 2. The multi-angle vertical fragment wall is set to define the southward space with sunshine and the northward space with haze. The idea of using a white wall to undertake sunshine is great, but in my design, I will consider carefully about the height of the wall in order to generate more flexibility.

Solar panel and kinetic pavements are the alternative energy sources that our site can celebrate. Input energy can be used in lighting, wireless communication, phone charging, and pedestrian data can be provided by every footstep. Kinetic pavements will be installed in front of MSD building and Union House, the main entrance area of the site. Because this is where the most heavy circulation happens, a more stable amount of energy can be obtained.

ECOSYSTEM: The dominant vegetaion of the site are grass and tall trees. Multi-storied vegetation will help nurture richer biodiversity.

In the heart of Melbourne University, the opportunity arises to create a more multifunctional, educational and sustainable open space. Driven by the sense of breaking the original rigid boundaries of the site, design project intends on articulating universe of sensations and experiences open to many interpretations. Different areas of landscape are framed by the various curviliner wall to facilitate public activity. Also, embedded with sustainable six-leaf design principles, the project will be an ecofriendly and welcoming place.

EXAMPLES

Indigenous vegetation cultivated garden beds will be created. Plantings, harvesting and composting can be carried out by communities, which will enhance the cooperation between different groups. Indigenous plants, as well as holding cultural stories and ecological importance for many Aboriginal in Australia, deliver a number of benefits: 1. They are very hardy and require little water, which makes them sustainable and affordable to keep. 2. They tell stories about the cultural belonging of Indigenous peoples and allow a portal into the rich cultural and ecological knowledges. 3. They provide much needed corridors and habitat for native animals and contribute greatly to healthy ecosystems. 4. They are often medicinal, nutritionally beneficial and can be used to make many items, as well as providing colour and beauty to the landscape.

Continuous topographic changes reduce the fragmentation of the site's different parcels.

In order to ensure that this mirrored like wall won’t be too shiny to cause glare. Two meathods can be considerded. The first one is to use different textures to reduce the reflection effect and increase visual richness. Aged metal and frosted glass also help a lot.

SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATION ECOSYSTEM: Indigenous vegetaion and wetland system can effectively provide much needed corridors and habitat for native animals and contribute greatly to healthy ecosystems. WASTE: Food scraps and coffe ground can be collected to nurture on site vegetation. Aged metal can be used for the construction of the "mirrored wall".Removed tree trunk can be used for the construction of timber decks.

CONSTRUCTION DETAIL

ENERGY: Alternative energy installations can be integrated on site, such as kinetic pavement. Gathered energy can used for water pump installed in irrigation sysytem. MATERIAL: Existing concrete pavement material can be reused for concrete wall. Introduce more permeable paving surface, such as gravel. WATER: Wetland system can be created to treat stormwater and rain water. Treated water can be used for vegetation irrigation and toilet flash. COMMUNITY: Indigenous cultivated garden will increase the public sense of indigenous culture. Increase people's sense of community by organizing temporary markets and workshops.
