Project Description The design is an expression of artistic idea and conception that have emerged from an inimate feeling for nature. It is a constructed wetland that can adapt to environmental changes through the use of modular and parametric design. The modular function of this design can decrease the maintenance required for the site by prevent large spread of damage. Also, gap between these triangles increase absorption of stormwater runoff therefore, reduce the chances of flooding. WATER LEVEL + SECTION A-A Goodenia ovata

In the morning, it is a great place for morning exercise, a scenic and pleasant route for wokring class, a shaded/sunny place for resting.
In the afternoon, it provides certain spa activities.

PINK BALLOONS
Queen Victoria Market, as the oldest market in Melbourne CBD and the former locale of Old Cemetery, was chosen to be our site. We looked for emerging programmes and how it start to construct its urban context. Our assigned site is a T-shaped area adjacent to two historial buildings, at the corner of Queen St and Franklin St.

We preserved most of the original natural landscape, and designed the potential flooding area into a wetland park with some possible recreational activities.

With the help of humans to fill up each frame with clay, the structure serves as a bee hotel where humans can also observe the life cycle of the bees
BEE PAVILION
Safe Nesting Space By providing a space for bees to safely reproduce, we aim to increase the population of this endangered species The bees would help the polination of certain flower plants such as tomatoes which then could be harvested by human.
Timber Framework 5mm thick plywood triangular frame as a mold for soft clay to be used by bees as a nesting space
