3D Printed Physical Model
The current iteration of the Melbourne Museum Plaza is such that it masquerades as public space without advocating for autonomous usage. This is best highlighted by the defensive approach that the Museum takes regarding its skateboarding community.
"The OOZE' aims to allow people to change their own physical relationship to the plaza, as well as their perception of what and how a public place is/works/offers.
The design seeks to curate the possibility of discovery, play, opportunity and augmentation, in conjunction with formalised events.
It aims to be both a conceptual and physical place. Altering the way we engage with and view acts of creativity and resistance in the urban context.
The proposal initiates a Soundscape that acts as a new ecology for the plaza. Works are commissioned specifically for the site that reinforce the crescendo of physical forms. These aural works will over time form a new collection for the museum and generate an economy for the plaza (as streaming revenue) which sets the design up as a new autonomous cultural region of the Museum.
The Ooze is an act of resistance, personified by users and highlighted by Skateboarding. It acts in the face of the stifling heritage which dictates the rest of the site..

Utilising a co-design approach championing indigenous led design, Joining the dots… highlights Birrarungs Songlines as important tributaries that connect people and culture to the river.
The Birrarung as a living entity is the starting point for the design thinking in this project. It aims to contextualise the importance of Cultural and Environmental flows as being intertwined as per the understanding that Country is all encompassing.
Cultural flows are connected to surrounding sites of significance, their meaning shared through geo located storytelling.

Train of Thought
ArcGIS Dja Dja Wurrung Country
As a society we have become disconnected with food production. Our over reliance on the supermarket duopoly has created an unsustainable demand for ‘perfect produce’ all year round. We no longer no longer consume seasonally and our insatiable appetite for protein has resulted in the scourge of factory farming.
The consequence of this ‘Stronger Better Harder Faster’ approach to food consumption and production has wreaked a heavy toll on our topsoils and grasslands.
This project facilitates the interconnection of gray and green infrastructures through the coupling of agricultural (potential urban and rural) and a high-speed rail network.
The project aims to invigorate dormant urban agricultural sites through the coupling of knowledge transferred from established rural sustainable agricultural practitioners.

Informed by the existing site conditions, this project aims to create atmospheric gradients that allow users differing spatial and seasonal and diurnal microclimatic experiences.
The design achieves this through the manipulation of solar, wind and material porosity.
Attenuating flows, allows for subtle expression of existing microclimatic conditions.
Conversely, the amplification of existing conditions spatially adjacent, allows for the juxtaposition of microclimatic experiences.
