Green Living Quarter Footscray
2009
Footscray is a suburb, situated 5 km west of Melbourne. With my design, I intended to create a commercial and residential typology of middle density ----a green living quarte on a specific site in future Footscray area. To achieve this goal, as well as adopting the essential elements----INTERACTION, FLEXIBILITY, SIMPLICITY, and SUSTAINABILITY, which all come from the case study of Japanese Machiya house into my design as a significant part of the design consideration; I am proposing a modular sustainable residential house, therefore to encourage the interactions between inhabitants, and also to improve the image of the local community and living condition. By repeatedly applying this modular house on the selected site, I intended to achieve a brand new and modern green living quarter.
