Neighbourhood activity centre activation plans
GROUP WORK
I worked with my team on the three pilot neighbourhood activity centre activation plans. We worked with councils and proposed potential temporary interventions for further consideration that respond to the community, test permanent works, support the traders and create more space in response to COVID-19 recovery.

GROUP WORK
WORK PROJECT, 20 MINUTE NEIGHBOURGHHOODS,DELWP MELBOURNE 2022
I was leading this 20 minute neighbourhoods before and after visualisation work. Collaborating with an external 3d visualisation consultant, We applied the 20 minute neighbourhood concept on 2 typical neighbourhood centre typologies in Melbourne's middle suburb.
In this project, I led the detail design work and used a lot of hand drawing to communicate my design with the consultant.

WATER CORRIDOR
ABPL90273
URBAN DESIGN STUDIO B UNDER THE PAVEMENT, THE BEACH MELBOURNE 2019
Water Corridor is a water sensitive design strategy that is concerned about costal cities and the loss of the beach due to the impact of climate change and the consequences of melting glaciers and land based sea caps. The design attempts to explore and tackle such issues of sea level rise, storm surges and water run o management.
The design strategy analyses and evaluates existing conditions and responds to these by exploring land morphologies in order to develop a tactical approach to shaping a more resilient costal community.
