Inclusive Functional & Safe

What if the rapid growth of urban population caused the public space reduction, to build a collective and inclusive public space with different functions to serve different people, and artificial lights at night to improve the safety and aesthetics of the whole design?

From 2010 to 2020, the urban population rate has increased steadily every year. Sydney’s total population is predicted to increase by nearly 640000 from 2021 to 2031. According to the urban population growth rate in the previous decade, Sydney will increase by nearly 580000 in the next decade. This is bound to cause more serious tension in urban public space.

Stage 4-2030.1 After a period of phytoremediation, earthworms were introduced to help the phytoremediation process

Vermiremediation Program Vermiremediation presents a good long-term biological option to clean up mildly contaminated soil.

Epigeic: L. rubellus Epigeic earthworms live on the surface of the soil in leaf litter. These species tend not to make burrows but live in and feed on the leaf litter

Endogeic: A. caliginosa Endogeic earthworms live in and feed on the soil. They make horizontal burrows through the soil to move around and to feed and they will reuse these burrows to a certain extent.

Anecic: A. longa Anecic earthworms make permanent vertical burrows in soil. They feed on leaves on the soil surface that they drag into their burrows. They also cast on the surface, and these casts can quite often be seen in grasslands.

Inclusive Public Open Space 2030& 2050

Access The circulation of the site aims to have no-ending road with various cross-point that lead people to go anywhere they want.

Open Space The inclusive public space contains varieties of area with different functions, to satisfied all age groups needs

Ecological The inclusive public space should focus on ecology. The green space contains plant species, natural beings and the welcome environment.

Living Quality The inclusive public space also support residential area for people.

Convenience The inclusive public space includes commercial areas, inside contains a retail store, grocery, supermarket, bar, cafe and restaurant, which easy people who live or work here and increse the local commericial level

Let’s Have a Consideration of...

What will change of 20 years?

Public open space shrink

Urban population raise

Tail gas pollution

Transportation mode transfer Explore vertical space

Explore more verticial space potentially to alleviate the shortage of public space resources

Due to the population growth and era changed, the basic function of open space cannot satisfied citizens, time to explore and expand various function of open space

With the opening of more functional areas, some messy green plants are also reduced. This is not to reduce the green space, but to leave more designed landscape design in gaps of this site

Expending the existing car road as the share road, since the transportation mode has been transfered.

The share road aims for more space for bike rider, to encourage this eco-friendly transportation way.

children playground Target Group: children, parents, familes

Due to the increasingly strained public land resources, in 2050 plan for this area should explore more open space to increase the capacity level

Roof garden Target Group: people who live inside

sculpture by sea plaza

pedestrians track Target Group: all age groups

Platform (above the ground) Target Group: All age groups who visit this place

share bike station and art plaza Target Group: all age groups

Share bike station and art plaza water front plaza and wharf Target Group: all age groups

commercial area and open space Target Group: all age groups, inside contains cafe, retail store, restaurant, grocery... outdoor exercise space Target Group: except for children, people who look for work-out.

In 2050, this place aims lessen the car flow. The transportation mode transfer to bike. The old car park change to share bike station. Due to the size of bike, the rest of space aims to explore more aesthetic function in this area to enrich the inclusive public space.

The artificial lighting at night time conditions at 2030...

residential area on the top

The main artificial lighting source at night time come from the side close to sea, has a relatively minor impact on residents

The existing basketball field as the only activity exercise in the field. If has the lighting turn-on time restriction on the basketball playing (due to the strong lighting for basketball field will interupt people’s visual impact), thus people will has less chance to do exercise at night time.

Time to change and add more varieties of exercise activities!
