INTRODUCTION Shophouses 261-251 were built in the 19th century from Victorian and Federation eras. Shophouse's typology reflects the architectural style of the Victorian era.It represents the memories of immigrants' lives. Due to the rapid development of the city, these shophouses could not adapt to changes in people's life style and requirements, slowly becoming vacant. In this project, I attempted to retain original historical elements and spatial typology. Through functional replacement and space renovation, I might be able to activate the vacant upper spaces, to create rich spatial experience and facilitate communication. To redefine the role of context and its social value, is the ultimate goal of my heritage building design concept.

City Fabric of 1880

City Fabric of 2019
Melbourne was founded in 1835 and was officially declared a city by Queen Victoria in 1847. Strategic planning began with Robert Hoddle’s 1837 street layout, known as the ‘Hoddle grid’. This layout is what we know today as Melbourne’s central business district and has influenced the layout of modern day Melbourne.
By the early 1910s, concerns about the dilapidated parts of the city prompted major public inquiries by the Joint Select Committee on the Housing of the People in the Metropolis (1913-14) and a Royal Commission in 1915. These events led to the development of Melbourne’s first strategic plan in 1929. The Plan, named the Plan for General Development of the Metropolitan Town Planning Commission, proposed a planning scheme to prevent ‘misuse’ of land and protect property values. It also highlighted traffic congestion, the distribution of recreational open space and the haphazard intermingling of land uses.
The consistently shaped blocks emphasizes on visual order and functional order as a means of legibility. However back the rectangular blocks which arranged axial, there are lots of chaotic even empty buildings.So,those seemingsly regular building along the street to form rigorous and regular urban texture.But in fact ,form the point of view the fabric of CBD is disorganized.

As The Times change, Melbourne is still trying to remember those times by keeping his character as it was 100 years ago.However, as the second largest city in Australia, it is also responsible for the development of economy, tourism and education.Different from Sydney and Brisbane, the charm of Melbourne lies in the fusion of Victorian classical architecture and skyscrapers.

Building construction funded by the long boom of the gold rush created the typical Melbourne form of shophouses.Their tenants were traders who lived above the shop.
A large number of immigrants from all over the world came to Melbourne.The bistro and club on Elizabeth street had also become a popular gathering place for the immigrant population.
Due to urban populations increasing, incomes rising and transportation technology improving, Suburbanization took place in Melbourne.
1880s
1910s
1970s
With the implementation of a series of re-urbanization policies, More and more high-rise office buildings and large shopping malls began to appear in Melbourne's CBD.
1990s
With the increasing demand for housing in the CBD, especially a large number of international students and young generations, more and more high-rise apartments are being built around the site.
2010s
Surrounded by exaggerated modernist architecture and limited space and lack of maintenance, this historic shophouse is gradually ignored by people

The shop-house are from Victorian and Federation eras. Building construction funded by the long boom of the gold rush created the typical Melbourne form of shophouses. The predominant built form of three-stories single-fronted shop‑houses, with narrow deep shops on the ground floor and accommodation above, provides clear evidence of the typical uses which continue today. Land utilization was maximized by constructing narrow. The shop houses are unremarkable individually and are languishing because their future has been unclear for decades.

Heritage Buildings in Melbourne
-There is a tendency to focus on the city’s impressive landmark heritage buildings, while neglecting those areas that are deemed to be less impressive even though they are still an important part of Australian history. -As an immigrant city, it is difficult for people, especially the young generation and new immigrants to understand the past life of people in Melbourne.

Design Value
This building is a colonial architecture incorporating Baroque and Victoria style so that the design value is good

Studio_07_No Vacancy
S
Strength -The site is located in the intersection of Elizabeth Street and Lonsdale Street so that the accessibility is good -Structure in good condition. After the site visit and documentation, we found that the structure of the site is in good condition. All the load bearing walls are preserved thoroughly. -The ornamentation of the façade is preserved well aa well and it reflects the colonial architecture style in 19h century -The site is near one of the biggest commercial areas in Melbourne so that it could be active after the renovation
W
Weakness -Although, the sidewalk is wide enough for pedestrians, the busy traffic on the Elizabeth Street will affect the pedestrians’ feelings -There is only one front entrance for each shop. Besides, there is a building adjacent to the back of the site so that people can not directly enter the back of the site. Therefore, the back of site is vacant.
O
Opportunity -More and more high densities in Melbourne CBD area, it is a good opportunity to rethink the role of the heritage in the high density areas -The upper floors are vacant so that it gives us opportunities to propose a strategy to renovate the upper floor areas
T
Threat -The existing canopy affects the holistic façade and blocks out the sight of pedestrians to have a view of the elegant façade

Geek /ɡiːk/
The word geek is a slang term originally used to describe eccentric or non-mainstream people; in current use, the word typically connotes an expert or enthusiast obsessed with a hobby or intellectual pursuit
-High historical value -Vacancy -Unique spatial experience -Inadequate protection
Based on the understanding about the demands of the user group, the existing context, the challenges and the potential of these buildings, they make me think of the word "GEEK".
37

-Peculiar person
-Dare to innovate -Master to cutting-edge technology
Definition of the GEEK?
Geek
-Fairly well educated -Non-mainstream people
-Superior intelligence -Spending an amount of time on internet
/ÉĄiË?k/
-Grind
-Electronic enthusiast
-Not good at communication and expressing -Lack of social contact -Less popular and fashionable -Eccentric personality
-Video games player
-Social withdrawal
From the definition of the word Geek, it represents different types of people. Although they dare to innovate and mater to cutting-edge technologies, a large part of them are not good at communication and lack of social contact, which is similar to the spatial characteristics and status of the site.
38
“Geek” in Site -Really high historical value
-The original typology is reserved
-Lack of connection with context
-Unremarkable individually and are languishing
/ɡiːk/
-Upper floor and backyard are scrapped

These shophouses need to adapt to the development of the times. The site needs to retain the original typologies and historical value, yet it also to meet the needs of users, improve applicability and increase communication.

Keep the original elements of the original Townhouse, break the space division, and create a new open space to meet the needs of the new “24-hour living� circle.
The ramp takes people directly to the second floor. The roundabout ramp runs through the retail, backyard, and upper floors to create a dramatic spatial experience.

The former abandoned backyard becomes the center of the new building, connecting different functions and also becoming the most active part

Use the brick wall as the space division, retaining the characteristics of the existing Townhouse building.

I tried to keep the narrow and deep space characteristics, but after renovation, currently inconsistant horizontal partition walls messed up the original typology characteristics. Central double height exhibition space was not very clear/persistant compared to my redesigned concept of the site. Considering the new entrance and the reception space of the upper floor, the scale of ramps and the aforementioned spaces does not match the functional requirements of the structure.

The original horizontal division of the building is retained to increase the communication of the line of sight
The upper level functions are accessed via a double height separate entrance
The original retail staircase is no longer as a transportation function, but has become an product shelf as well as an exhibit of historical elements of the upper experience hall

Demolish the partitions in the backyard to creat a large space and introduce more sunlight.Backyard becomes a public space for six units.
A landscape of seating units will be placed into the public spaces of backyard, which is consistently occupied with a mixture of geeks and other users who eat, relax and mingle in the open-plan layout.
The open and light-filled backyard provides a brand new spatial experience that is different from the narrow and deep space of the original shophouse. 71

Manifesto
As the mainstream of society continues to change, it will inevitably be eliminated and replaced, as is architecture, as well as the crowd. Isolation and exclusion under the rational definition of such a tool might ultimately result in the disappearance of social diversity. The development of a society should be dependant on actual needs, with open and inclusive qualities.“What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational�- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Architecture is recognised as a solidified art, carrying historical changes. However, there is no specific answer to heritage preservation. We should focus on the memory and culture evolved by the differentiated architecture. Architecture is just a container of history. Only the activities and users can make us realise the contemporary significance of this container. Faced with the reuse of historical buildings, we should focus on the repositioning of people and buildings, correct deviations, and find the truth. Only the structures that exist until now have truly sustained vitality. Simply repairing or recreating those parts that have lost their social significance will not push society to a better future. Focusing on the issue of historical buildings, intervening in isolated or forgotten buildings by repositioning and using occupant’s activities to stimulate architecture can preserve the vitality of the city. That is when the building is sustainable.
