The Aboriginal Eora country lived near the area that would become Bays Prectct Rozelle Bay was originally Johnsons Creek and as a mangrove foreshore before being reclaimed
HISTORY OF SITE-1890 Site reclamation. At the expense of ecology and natural landscape, it brought great industrial development. The region's history of heavy industry has given it magnificent architecture and infrastructure.

Industrial Activity
Vegetation
The industrial era brought economic benefits to the region, bringing in many workers
HISTORY OF SITE- PRESENT As land use patterns and community expectations evolve, an adaptive way to revitalise an iconic part of Sydney's industrial past needs to be found.

Parallax
is a way to explore three-dimensional space. The thinking about space brought about by parallax arouses people's contemplation, immersing people in the site and blending into the surrounding environment.1(APA Dictionary of Psychology 2014)
The concept of parallax helps people • Through the Tactile interaction and curiosity brought about by movement3 (Knez I, Eliasson I and Gustavsson E, 2020)
• Focus their perspective on the current site, • Concentrate their minds and return to the present • Avoid overthinking the past and the future, and • Reduce anxiety and worries.3
The relationship between people, buildings and the surrounding environment is largely misunderstood and ignored by pedestrians. Through the:
specific landscape framework, the layering of perspectives and the application of specific materials, the concept of parallax encourages pedestrians to move in the architectural space, allowing people to:
Through the concept of parallax, it becomes • The link between the relationship between people and the site, • Maintaining and enhancing the sense of identity.3
understand the dialectical relationship between users, culture and environment of the existing site.2(Roy.M, 2016)

Decision The relationship between the experience difference of the site and the decision made within the path (Roy.M, 2016)1
Concealment Hidden design nodes can stimulate the curiosity of users and encourage people to move while exploring the space.1
Discover The moment of discovery is important for understanding space. It is connected with the concept of concealment and both cultivate the curiosity of users.1
Haptical feedback Haptic feedback provides touch to communicate with users, allowing them to understand the rhythm of movement in the space1

Stage 1: Soil Remediation
Stage 2: Vegetation Habitat restoration
Stage 3: Protect Revitalize Heritage
Stage 1: Soil Remediation 2022-2025 - Due to reclamation of the site and its industrial history, this place is contaminated by heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides, PCBs, asbestos, etc. - This has destroyed the local natural environment and damaged animal habitats. At the same time, toxic soil can cause great harm to the human body. - Soil remediation should be carried out before all construction starts. Through plant filtration, the soil is extracted and purified to restore the soil and protect the health of residents.

Greater cooling from evaporation and plant transpiration
Surface absorbs less heat
Stage 2: Vegetation Habitat Restoration 2025-sustaining The cut-off of vegetation and habitat makes the site lack of resilience. There is almost no biodiversity. It is important to restore the vitality of the site. - Establish a green space in the site and combine the new public realm with green - Integrate local species to provide superior urban canopy coverage - Protect and establish habitat corridors and protected areas to protect mobile species such as migratory birds - Urbanization needs to develop without destroying the environment and to ensure the sustainable coexistence between the nature and the built environment.
Greater vegetation cover improves rainwater and runoff
Stage 1: Soil Remediation
Stage 2: Vegetation Habitat Stage 3: Protect Revitalize Heritage restoration
Industrial period: The Power Station and silo wharf providing steady employment and economic benefits to the community
Present 2021: Fenced White Bay Power Stations and silos, inaccessible, with no long-term plans for use.
Stage 4: Community Development
Future 2027-2030: Gradually improved access and roads, more and more people into the site. Two historic landmarks are beginning to come alive
Future 2031-2036: Public green space is open to all, plants and ecology bring more vitality to the site. This place will become a bustling center
The Power Station Green - Out-door perdormance place for public sitting
- picnic - walking through the green space
Silo: The Culture District - Art related workshop and studios - Art related business
Future 2025-2027: Remove the fence and open the entrance. An opportunity to connect two separate landmarks to form a cultural and historical promenade.
STAGE 3 PROTECT REVITALIZE HERITAGE
Community center - Communal Co-walking space, sitting place - Cultural and art exhibitions
The Power Station Green - Out-door perdormance place for semi-public space, relaxating and gathering
Silo front green - Leisure and therapeutic place for labour

Stage 2: Vegetation Habitat Stage 3: Protect Revitalize Heritage restoration
Stage 4: Community Development
Stage 4: Community Development 2035-2050 The Bays Precinct aims to become a new and prosperous city center. In order to cope with the future growth of the population, to ensure that different projects (residential, commercial, retail and cultural products) are spread throughout the area. -Establish social and community infrastructure elements, provide opportunities for continuous participation and community participation, and establish interaction and connection between people - Create an activation project and invite people to come back here
Businesses moving into the site will bring more jobs and restore jobs that industry once brought to the community. Provide employment for people in the community and encourage more people to join.

TOPOGRAPHY
VISION
The project aims to regenerate the life and vitality of the closed historical and cultural space in the site, and to think about the connection between people and the site, culture and environment, and a sense of identity. Make up for the environmental damage caused by industrial development, making this place a green and sustainable new urban center.
