SHAPE is a new elective focused on multidisciplinary collaboration, design thinking and construction strategies for current, real world projects. Building upon the learning and teaching outcomes of individual programs, you will be able to showcase and practice your professional skills and strengths within a multidisciplinary team, drawing on the experiences of industry experts.

Join us in semester 01 2023, as we re-imagine the ‘Melbourne Innovation District’ (MID) by harnessing a vision of creative and dynamic public spaces enhanced by several new underground metro stations (on the new MM1 line). The MID precinct lies between Melbourne University, RMIT and Queen Victoria Market - key city north nodes to be served by new stations making them the best connected places in the metropolitan area.

A vision is required to transform and strengthen the MID and develop a world class environment the supports ‘next generation Melbourne’ focused on social innovation and leveraging emerging technologies through urban design.

The precinct will be a place designed to: build on our city’s unique characteristics, provide improved public and active transport accessibility, enhance education and economic outcomes, create new knowledge and city experiences, and enrich inclusion and amenity.

As a team, you will have the opportunity to reimagine and design an alternative future for the Melbourne Innovation District by focusing on key components of its future, and synthesising new design ideas and construction methods for key urban themes.
