Melbourne 2041 Hao Wu
Why the year 2041? Melbourne 2041 demonstrated what could the city of Melbourne possibly looks like if we used the data from the past, 2002-2018 and analyse them, combine with the data forcasted which mostly the next 20 years, which is the year 2041. The realtime data includes population, floor area for different functions within the hoddle grid, the number of skyscrapers and the possible height of them. ... etc. With the data gathered and visualised, the 3 key dominating programms, which would be office space, residential, and commercial spcae, by other assisting data such as vacancy rate within CBD, or the value of an apartment in CBD VS to the value of a piece of land, multiple rules has been made specifically for the year 2041. Now from the starting point...

The city is... The very interesting yet intriguing thing, we are using 2 or even 1 dimension to design 3 dimensional space, lanes works like a line, courtyards works as a point and connected by those lines, very typical in shopping center, or urban planning streets, current 3 dimensional process is using lines(roads) as a tool to form networks, the using the island which splitting by the roads and generate spiky building form, a city is formed, so to rethink urban planning we should rethink what is another way to form roads, in 3 dimensional way?

Mining the City With some thoughts starts from begining, the testing site which are Block 74 & 84 in the Melbourne CBD hoddle grid, the whole city block has been made as a massing model, with buildings and highrises being represented as cubes and volumes, the data then being specifically processed through the Excel document and 6 key programms has been extracted out, they are: education entertaining residential office common area commercial These programms then being demonstrated with specific colours, and with each single cell being put in different levels of randomnization, the overall mixture represents from order to chaotic.

Compared to the DNA diagram, what curve could demonstrate is the change and some programms rises over years, programms such as office and residential increased dramatically from 2002-2018, which could be easily explained since the high rise tower being built mainly focus on the residential, for every high rise tower built,there will be 1000 more apartment being count in, which included studio apartment, 2 room apartment and 3 room apartment.

Midsem Proposal: After gathered the different sets of data and reconfigured block 74 & 84, several highrises being crafted, with mainly function as core, the idea taking the highrise as a role of a center service core, which consist lifts, toilets, etc... The other parts such as living pods, corridor and offices then being reconfigured and with the crane on top of each core building, the pods eventually achieved reconfiguration based on real time data change of the city.

1:ownership of one single pod only lasts for 10 years maximum, renting recycled living pods has become 90% of the CBD residence’s choice. 2: certain pod has its own function and programs, living pod taking up to 50% of entire CBD floor area, traffic cells such as stairs and corridor cells, belongs to Melbourne Council .

3: living cells or other types of commercial cells could count as detail as price per day or even hours, however, the price of renting one cell becoming more affordable since the cell no longer belongs to varies person but belongs to varies company. 4: Shifting of the cells based on the weekly analysis of programm demanding, the living cell might shift and store away when there is a high vacancy rate, when the demand is increasing, the cell will shift back.

Whats the system? The testing of Midsem proposal related a question of the system, which includes a core system, means every core works as a individual core, and units being work surrounds it, or layered system, which demonstrated in the drawings, the building works as a layer, with cells and corridor applied layer by layer, which solved the traffic complication.

Proposition with the vacancy rate of apartment in CBD, the pattern showed that the problem might not be the increasing population, but what happens if there is a decreasing in population, with almost 5% of the vacancy rate in every december, and 10% vacancy rate which showed that the apartment demand is in a negative increase, hence, with the data, current trend, the idea based on shortened construction time being eventually replace by installation, the permanent element only left with the main structure which could provide porosity when its empty, and different units being shifting and distributing by the moving crane which attached on the top of the structure, which eventually shorten the gap between demand and supply.

Land ownership as the onlything and the last thing havent been fully consumerised yet : The mechanism of the land ownership VS a typical product, like car, or phone, laptop.
tower typology is diluting the value and power of ownership: price of a 2 room apartment in CBD x 55 storeys = the real value of that piece of land current price of 2room apartment in CBD: 600,000 AUD 600,000 x 55 = 3,300,000 = 3.3 Million AUD for 50 m2
Apartment is the process of shifting the land to the final product for sale: Final proposal: what is the extreme end if we apply consimerism on top of a housing market? The Temporal City

Final Prototype Push the idea from Midsem further,the idea of the medium (the blob surrounding the core) havent been thought through properly, instead of using a solid form, the process becoming more radical and closer to the form of data, which is the trasmission cable transmitting the data. The service core represents extreme order, they sits together, one by one, stack by stack like a particle stacking together, the points which draws from them and parts of the points being executed to growing command, which formes curves, in the end, the moving points leading the curve and land on another sets of cells, competed the Plug process.
