I would like to acknowledge the Bedegal people that are the Traditional Custodians of this land on which I am fortunate to persue my education. I pay my respects to the Elders both past and present and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who are present here today. I would also like to celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of NSW.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
SHALIN THANKAM
]
As an architect with two years of experience, I have developed a deep interest in landscape architecture through my exposure to diverse natural environments and contrasting constructed urban spaces while living in different countries. This exposure has inspired me to pursue landscape architecture as a means to study and create a harmonious balance between the community and the environment.
I excel in effective verbal communication and critical thinking, enabling me to articulate design concepts clearly and develop innovative solutions for complex landscape architecture projects. With a team-oriented mindset, I collaborate effectively with professionals from diverse disciplines. I am a quick learner, constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and stay up-to-date with industry advancements.
Sydney, with its favorable equilibrium between urban development and natural landscapes, has been a compelling choice for furthering my studies in landscape architecture. I am particularly interested in exploring how the design of our built environment can enhance the well-being of both the community and the surrounding ecosystem, fostering a sense of harmony and sustainability.
I am eager to contribute to the Australian landscape architecture community, creating sustainable landscapes and hope to gain practical experience and deepen my understanding of local contexts and design practices. Being passionate about making a positive impact, I am excited to grow as a landscape architect in Australia to learn as well as put my skill to practice to create innovative and sustainable designs.

ROCKDALE WETLAND CORRIDOR SECOND YEAR CAPSTONE PROJECT
- TRANSFORMATIVE “SQUISHY LAND” -
The Rockdale Wetland Corridor project is a restoration initiative, located in Sydney as part of a 5km wetland stretch. The chosen site belongs to the San Souci catchment and lies along Bado-Berong Creek, encompassing Bona Park.The site’s unique characteristics, such as tall trees, open sky, and a rich biodiversity hotspot, offer immense potential for innovative design. However, the project faces significant challenges such as sea level rise causing salination of fresh water, resulting in biodiversity loss, and water overflow from the creek affecting nearby low-lying residential areas. Addressing poor water quality and soil contamination are also key objectives. To overcome these challenges, the project aims to build a resilient system that can adapt to sea level rise and water overflow, while simultaneously restoring and enhancing the wetland’s ecological functions. Phytotechnologies will play a crucial role in this effort, utilizing plants and vegetation to address water and soil quality issues and promote overall ecosystem health. Community engagement and participation will be fostered to create a sense of ownership and stewardship among local residents.The Rockdale Wetland Corridor project envisions longterm results within a timeframe of 20 to 30 years, recognizing the time required for the wetland to fully recover and showcase the desired ecological improvements.

During the site study and analysis process, various aspects were carefully examined. One crucial step involved creating an axonometric 3D diagram of the site to better understand the spatial relationships and interdependencies among different features. This diagram provided a visual representation of the site’s layers, aiding in the identification of key elements and their connections. To develop this diagram, software programs such as SketchUp, Rhino, Adobe Photoshop, and InDesign were utilized.

1%AEP FLOOD
SEA LEVEL RISE
From the direct sun and UHI analysis it was observed that the site receives ample sunlight over a longer period but is poorly shaded making the site extremely hot and water in the creek dries up really quickly but floods during the slight event of rain. The strategies include to make the site more thermally comfortable. Planting more trees making it a riparian corridor can help shade the wetland and give thermal comfort.
The site is relatively flat but has low terrain which poses a threat to other activities in site. Water table is being hight land is inunded during tides or slight rain. North west of the site being on high terrain might also result in flash flooding during an event of rain.
The site has been identified as having problems such as flash flooding, sea level rise and storm water surge. These problems stem from the low ground on which the site is located. Stratergies that are adopted are space acquisition by nearby residents to reclaim their land, alteration of the terrain moderately, and expansion of the creek to act as a spill-out space.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the site and its context, different scale sections were drawn to analyze various layers and their relationships. These sections provided insights into larger patterns, including birds and burra migration, and helped identify connections with neighboring areas such as the Blue Mountains, Kamay (Botany Bay), and the San Souci residential area. Additionally, sections were used to study the biodiversity, community dynamics, soil composition, the creek, and the site itself. By examining these sections, valuable information was obtained regarding the spatial and ecological relationships between these elements.

TWEED HEADS MALL FIRST YEAR PUBLIC REALM PROJECT
The project’s objective was to redesign the Tweed Mall precinct in Tweed Heads, which held a significant position as a focal point benefiting from its proximity to the Gold Coast Airport, hospitals, residential areas, and the southern part of Tweed Heads connected via Wharf Street. The design concept took into consideration the proposed Tweed light rail, with a primary focus on creating a plaza that would serve as a meeting place for local mall users.The plaza was positioned in front of the mall, and the street in front underwent a redesign to promote walkability and incorporate cycle paths and light rail infrastructure. Additionally, water sustainability was integrated into the design, with provisions to capture, recycle, and reuse water resources. Project involved various stages like precedent study, site visit, site study and analysis, concept design, master plan development and presentation to the council. Within the group project, my specific contributions included conducting a site analysis, designing the street and plaza, and producing visual renders to showcase the envisioned changes.

The site in Tweed Heads holds a significant position as a focal point, benefiting from its close proximity to the Gold Coast Airport. It is conveniently connected to hospitals, residential areas, and the southern part of Tweed Heads through Wharf Street. Surrounded by the Tweed River, Jack Evans Harbour, and the Gold Coast beach, the Tweed Mall site enjoys a picturesque location with abundant water sources. The Tweed River, in particular, plays a prominent role as a natural asset in the region. With its central location, accessibility via Wharf Street, and the presence of surrounding water sources, the site in Tweed Heads serves as a notable hub for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.

Master plan was developed to have a common meeting point. From the frequent circulation path mapped, commonly used spaces are given function with the needs of the user. Ground floor of the mall opened up to the plaza with restaurent seating provided in the plaza. Design also included water features from the water collected from the design elements during rain. Safe play area is provided for kids using the space with shaded seating for the parents to supervise.

SALT PAN CREEK
FIRST YEAR PUBLIC REALM PROJECT
The project focused on revitalizing the Salt Pan Creek, specifically addressing Site 10 among the divided 18 sections. The site presented opportunities as an open space, ideal for recreational activities for the local residents. However, it also posed potential threats such as contaminated soil, lack of entry points, and a shortage of seating or breathable green spaces. To address these issues, the design implementation included WSUD initiative with other minor measures. These measures encompassed the creation of a walking trail and a bike path that extended through all the other sites, the incorporation of green parking spaces, the establishment of portal points for access to the site, and the addition of aesthetic elements like a vertical green wall and green roofs.The project aims to be completed within a timeframe of 3 to 5 years transforming the creek into a vibrant and sustainable space that enhances the recreational experience and environmental quality for the community.

The project in Coffs Harbour aimed to transform the streets into pedestrian-friendly spaces, encouraging active transport instead of relying heavily on cars. This transformation involved a comprehensive process that included gathering and analyzing data using multiple online tools. Additionally, a crucial aspect was the five-day on-site visit, which encompassed engaging with local residents and stakeholders through a community workshop. This collaborative effort was pivotal in understanding the community’s needs and concerns. Subsequently, the project focused on meticulous street redesign, incorporating active transport strategies, planting initiatives, and implementing safe crossings. These measures were carefully crafted to initiate immediate changes while also considering the anticipated developments over the next 15 years.
