Moonee Ponds Creek is an artificial drainage in inner city area of Melbourne. It plays a crucial role in flood prevention. However, the engineering of the creek has destroyed the ecology on site. A piece of wetland which used to be flourishing and home to a large number of species has been transformed into a deserted concrete ditch. This project is required to be a public space with capability to respond to both flooding and drying of the creek. The goal of the design is to restore the ecology as well as retain the function of flood prevention on site. Meanwhile, the design aims to mix up activity modules to attract children in surrounding suburbs to go back to the creek and play in nature, as if previous generations of children did along Moonee Ponds Creek.

Queen Victoria Market is one of the oldest markets in Melbourne. It does not only represent history, but also showcase the lifestyle and culture of the city. Yet, as the number of residents and tourists of Melbourne bursts, a redevelopment of QVM is highly demanded. The framework of the design is to enhance the accessibility and permeability of the market and polish the image of West Market. The portion of Queen Street in QVM has been reimagined with the application of Edge Effect Theory to equip QVM with more capacity to adapt larger and more events. Therefore, the reimagined market could encourage visitors leaving the concrete jungle behind and celebrating life.

The plan for the area of former Department of Defence in Maribyrnong was to redevelop to accommodate residential, recreational and commercial uses. Nevertheless, because of the contamination caused by its previous use and topographic restraints, some parts of the area are not suitable for certain types of development. The objective of the planning and design is to use analysis on multiple perspectives to determine the zoning strategy first, then render this new part of Maribyrnong community a cultural, sustainable and inclusive place to live by bringing multiple uses of heritage buildings, means of public transport and density of living.
