Description: My site was chosen in Box hill center, which is one of the most important district in Melbourne and is being planned for the second CBD in Melbourne as well. The future development of the city can be extended and new relationships can be established. Therefore, I made use of the concept of simulating the growth of single bacteria in Grasshopper to formulate the fastest traffic road, and established new activities and urban life by establishing these bacteria and mycelia.
