SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Cohousing Architecture Future Living Forms© is the result of experiments in housing design developed by Cristian since 2004. It encompasses postdoctoral studies, R&D and professional actions piloting/testing ecological, modular and compact housing units made of reused industrial waste, along with pioneering experiments in sustainable housing developments and awarded international housing design competitions. Cristian has also led several housing design studios in Europe such as ETSAB Barcelona School of Architecture, Cardiff University, University of Strathclyde, along with ERASMUS+ visiting programmes in prestigious schools between 2005-2019. Cristian’s work explores alternative forms of sustainable living against low-dense and monofunctional suburban structures, particularly applying the notion of circular design in dwellings as generator of biocapacity through the deployment of regenerative/restorative solutions, from the early design process to the implementation of alternative housing plans. Being senior architect and project leader in the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam, Cristian’s team designed the housing master plan of Almere Homerus, an experiment on ‘zelfbouw’ (self-build) principles applied in The Netherlands, providing over 1200 self-built homes with a minimal planning dictation, securing biocapacity in the overall tissue, and creating customised dwelling types. Another examples of innovative collective housing can be found in EUROPAN projects. In EUROPAN 8 Norway, Cristian’s team was awarded with “Railtown”, a mobile housing scheme that uses rundown or obsolete train tracks in Norwegian cities to accommodate low-income dwellers and tourists intransit under emergency or seasonal basis. Special gratitude is given to professional experts and municipal teams who have made possible to reflect and explore new social forms and housing types applicable in challenging suburban areas. 5

The case of Almere Homerus offers a unique circular master plan with flexible housing codes to stimulate a hybrid community landscape, organically developed, with a less dictated visual style. Being an living lab of self-build in Europe, Almere Homerus is still in underconstruction and open to replications. Source: Almere municipality (2012)

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY ABOUT THIS UNIT Our habitats are being urbanised, furnished and restructured and, in this process, they is being radically altered. This change of scale is ecological and social. This studio is an advanced design lab focused in dwelling and architecture in cities. Students will design a residential complex in a challenging urban environment interconnecting morphological, typological and technological solutions applied in innovative housing configurations. It deals with the themes of dwellers & inhabitation; stacking and linking; modularity and variation; access and circulation; dwelling configurations and types; construction systems, skin and climate control; and sustainability sound approaches and principles applied in critical situations and design scenarios. Theoretical, spatial and technological advancements are explored through comprehensive architectural methods and tools, game plans, spatial experimentation, digital craft architecture and model making; allowing a high design level of originality, novelty and creativity. The design brief is aligned with the social design agenda of housing architecture [UN principles of Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda Habitat III]. Student design will explore new social forms, global housing challenges and the art of inhabitation in everyday urban life. It encompasses the development of restorative/regenerative architectural interventions with programmatic complexity, community interactions and spatial quality. They will design dwellings and shared spaces in a specific context by selecting a study area and project site. Welcome. Dr Cristian Suau Senior lecturer in Architectural Design

Open Building: The built environment can be seen as having an hierarchical structure in which higher levels serve as the setting and context in which lower levels operate. As such, higher levels exercise dominance over lower levels, while lower levels are dependant Plans the Block D or on higher-level structures. Examples of levels include urban design andofarchitecture, base building and fit-out. Source: Habraken (1961).

Within the blocks, the 33 housing units are of two kinds: “row-house” and “multi-level” units. The 13 “multi-level” units occupy 1 or 2 levels, and are 50-90 m² in size. They each have direct access to either a garden with a terrace, or to a loggia. The ground floor residences are fully accessible and usable by persons with reduced mobility. The 20 row-houses have three floors and a private yard with a terrace facing the street and one facing the courtyard. Their orientation and surface area vary depending on their positioning within the block: east-west or north-south, between 120 and 160 m².

In conclusion, the variations in the constructions, the programs, surfaces, and the material finishings reveal the potential of the typology that was created, and they bear witness to its wealth. The neighborhood has remained very consistent in terms of its architectural vocabulary, and yet, each residence is unique.

MODEL MAKING & THE A+B WORKSHOP In this Master studio, model-making is essential to support the three-dimensional representation of your spatial iterations and design process from simple mock-ups of the general shape or concept into tectonics resolutions. Architectural design always takes form as a model, which enhances your future designd development. Mock-ups will be used as part of the design process to help convey each new composition. Many prototype models are used for testing physical properties of the design, others for usability studies and exhibitions. The A+B workshop offers Master students and tutors to experiment with technology, materials and processes applied to digital/analog model making, from folding, mass, architectural and detailed models.

PART 2. THEORY, CITY & HOUSING COHOUSING ARCHITECTURE Future Living Forms Unit Chair Dr Cristian Suau, Senior Lecturer in Architectural Design

Cohousing is an intentional community, created and run by its residents, where each household has a selfcontained, private home as well as shared community spaces and facilities. 22

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY WHY DOES GEELONG NEED TO EXPERIMENT IN COHOUSING?

MIND, FILL & DWELL THE GAPS

A lot of issues are being discussed locally in relation to achieving an affordable housing agenda, but not much on fostering community housing as inclusive models in Australian cities, mainly in deprived areas. Affordability, user-centred design, shared amenities, mobility and place-making are some of the key problems. Generally, there is a lack of diversity and variety in residential prototypes, especially regarding new configurations and programmes.

Geelong is growing. Geelong is the first UNESCO City of Design in Australia. It envisions to lead an innovative way in the renewal towards an adaptive and productive city and in the development of innovative living and working environments. As it is growing, the city plan to tackle disadvantaged communities and homelessness aiming to build 13,500 new social dwellings over 21 years, including the replacement of 1,500 existing residences, to keep up with the population boom in the coming decades [Geelong Social Housing Plan 2018 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2041]. The question is how Geelong might look for this sustainable growth by building a compact, circular, productive, healthy and inclusive city with equal opportunities for everyone?

The incubation of new forms of inhabitation is always invaluable because they stimulate the sense of appropriation, social cohesion, urbanity, ecologically-sound living, technology transfer and know-how crosspollination to demonstrate applied research through housing design. The deployment of new housing programmes and visionary designs is a high-risk and high-gain experiment set to bring together a diverse range of intergenerational and vulnerable groups - young families, students, immigrants, refugees, disable people and older people- to unite visions for a more sustainable lifestyle, connecting Victorian Government and Geelong municipality (social and health policies), the Victorian housing industry (from finance to building sectors), and local communities to ideate, co-design and share together to find solutions. Many cities around Australia and especially in Victoria are facing huge demographic shifts in coming years as result of the ageing of population and rapid increase in population, among other factors. At the moment, housing schemes in Australia demonstrate a lack of R+D initiatives. This market is dominated by real estate agencies who dictate developers as to what they can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell to anonymous and wealthy potential dwellers. For instance, youth in their 20s and 30s are still living at home because they cannot afford to buy, rent or lease any dwelling.

The city of Geelong offers great potential to test innovative housing solutions in vacant areas, which are well-connected to railway stations and main public networks. These underused or derelict sites -abandoned factories, demolished blocks or rundown residential areas- offer great opportunities to demonstrate community-driven housing types as viable, affordable and concrete solutions to replicate in similar site conditions. The pursuit of a denser or more compact city with resilient residential environments requires multiple considerations between the need for green productivity, health, inclusiveness and a circular living environment. The challenge is to develop a spatial strategy implementing new mixture of functions on selected sites to revitalise the local economy whilst rethinking the character of a suburban landscape, with communal facilities and other characteristics of the post-carbon cities. What is the aim of developing co-housing in experimental sites? Mainly it implies to push a shift in the way we design and deliver housing; to establish community-led research; and to set innovative industry clusters to implement sustainable residential models, easy to scale up and replicate.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

The remaking of post-industrial large areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C;as complex and dynamic systems- involve fundamental alterations of its land management and ecology. Brownfield recovery is mostly based on pragmatic principles of rebuilding and transformation. Nonetheless, how can the Grand Paysage become an instrument of memory whilst open to changes and inventions? Obsolete post-industrial areas and underused transport infrastructures can perfectly be transformed and filled in with new urbanity (Suau, 2012). The repurposing of these gaps could contribute to the regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods into co-productive landscapes of circular economies.

The new community housing schemes should deal with the following five design cornerstones:

For a long period, Victoria has maintained its supply of low-dense housing schemes in suburban areas, including its high level of ownership. This tradition has been an unsustainable trend, blocking the continuous transition to regional social sustainability and thus aggravating the spatial impact of social asymmetries. Recent high density and high-rise housing models has been criticised for its poor design and building qualities, along with elevated prices far from social agendas. How do we activate stalled spaces to intensify urbanity without losing the identity of places that have made Geelong a great place to live? How can we provide quality, access and affordable housing schemes in Geelong to make our urbanised region much more viable? This Master Studio is an advanced design lab focused in dwelling and architecture. Students guided by experienced tutors will plan a residential complex in a challenging urban environment interconnecting functional, morphological, typological and technological solutions applied in innovative housing design. It will challenge students with innovative housing design methodologies. It could set the basis in which local authorities will be required to take community housing seriously.

[1] Compactness

Promoting a relatively high residential density with mixed land uses.

[2] Circularity

Focusing on buildings, mobility, and products to enable a circular economy transition.

[3] Productivity

Producing energy, food & knowledge in self-sufficient neighbourhoods

[4] Health

Creating and improving physical and social environments for citizens

[5] Inclusiveness

Avoiding marginalisation, including vulnerable intergenerational groups The design brief is focussed on housing challenges in everyday life. It encompasses the development of restorative/regenerative architectural interventions with programmatic complexity, community interactions and spatial quality. The design studio is aligned with the social design agenda of housing architecture [UN principles of Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda Habitat III]. The design studio will experiment on local community housing applied in deprived areas. In the initial phase, students will study and envision future models of sustainable housing developments. is expected that a wide range of design schemes will develop across the student cohort.

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY CONNECTING ADAPTIVE HABITATS Today we see increased societal demands on mobility resources, which are finite. Architects have the responsibility to act, especially in new housing developments by connecting them with efficient public transport systems in urban and suburban areas. We need to prevent the impact of climate change at domestic and urban scales.

The first country line in Victoria was from Melbourne to Geelong. It opened in 1857 by the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company. Refer to Clark, A. (2007) Australian Railway History. In March 2019, the Government pledged $2 billion for a fast rail line from Southern Cross St. to Geelong Central St., promising a maximum speed of 200 km/h, an average travel speed of 160 km/h and a travel time of 32 minutes. Therefore new dwellings need to be positioned in locations that are accessible across the metropolitan and regional networks: North, Central and South Geelong.

For the purpose of this design brief, we will understand the city of Geelong as a polycentric city cluster, which is environmentally advantageous due to it is associated with commuting shorter distances between residences and workplaces and lowering CO2 emissions (less private vehicle demand). Transformation should be understood as the mutation and reactivation of existing train infraestructure including stations, existing buildings and vacant lands as catalyst for new residential developments.

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY NO FUEL NO SUBURBIA Nowadays we do not look at the city as a compact, circular, productive, healthy and inclusive social form. Only 2% of the Earth’s surface is occupied by urban areas, ignoring the impact of the ecological footprint in the 98% of the non-urbanised planet, which seems a bit irresponsible. Cities are now divided into areas that change extremely quickly and areas that cannot change. The rapid urbanisation is linked with the increasing struggle of building in productive or heritage areas, creating a dichotomy for architects, builders and planners. Let’s stare at the phenomenon of suburbia! The lifestyle of “Petropolis” makes us carbon-dependent dwellers. For instance, artificial food production is increasingly organised as result of the digitisation of farming on the landscape where tractors or harvesters are controlled as drones and every inch of arable field is translated into a pixel-value. The postcarbon transition needs to consider synergies between ecosystems, between communities and between functions and uses. It is a systemic way of rethinking and remaking the city.

“The End of Suburbia” (2006) is a film directed by Gregory Greene. It demonstrates that the modern suburbs have ultimately become an unsustainable way of living. They were originally developed in an era of cheap oil, when the automobile became the center of the way people lived and an era when people wanted to escape the inner city to a more pastoral or rural way of life. However, the suburbs quickly evolved into merely a place to live that had neither the benefits of rural nor urban life, and where one was reliant on an automobile both to travel elsewhere and even to travel within the neighborhood. The suburbs are not only dependent upon cheap energy, but also reliable energy. Are today’s suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow?

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY DOMESTICITY: THE ART OF INHABITATION Inhabitation is the process of appropriating interior and domestic spaces by individuals. Phenomenology is the container name for the approach to home. Refer to Martin Heidegger [1955] Building, Dwelling, Thinking and Gaston Bachelard [1994], The Poetics of Space. It is focused on the possibilities of architecture for creating a meaningful framework for our everyday life by connecting buildings, users, and domestic life. Architecture as an act of form-giving, so it has to invite the dwellers to add their intangible quality of use. The term domestic interior architecture is referring to the home and its inner design. Refer to A. & P. Smithson [1994], Changing the Art of Inhabitation. Several architectural theorists define the city in relation to the house. Leone Batista Alberti, for example, compares the city with a ‘great house’ and a house with a ‘little city’. At a glance, the term domesticity suggests, though this is etymologically incorrect, the words domus (house) and city. These two concepts inform each other. The notion of domesticity refers to the material and spatial practices that construct our sense of ‘home’, but in practise it is never so simple or even positive. Architecture, in particular, reveals across time how domesticity can be burdened with detrimental implications of Neoliberal privatisation, repressive gender roles and colonialist practices in domestic everydaylife. Who exactly is involved in the processes of domesticity? What counts as domestic or makes a sense of home? Does domesticity necessarily reflect home-making or atmospheric sensibility? How the development of new residential block types can provide a social framework for new domestic interactions? Interior: Common shared voids. La Borda in Barcelona, Spain, architects: Lacol Coop.

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY TOWARDS POLYVALENT HOUSING MODELS

CITIES WITHOUT HOUSING AND HOUSING WITHOUT CITIES The production of housing is related to the establishment of socioeconomic dynamics that create and occupy everyday spaces in our cities. Nowadays urban-based economies are propagating a new geography of centrality and marginality. Urban poverty is no longer a characteristic of mega-cities or slums in developing regions. Social asymmetry is the new urban question in Australian cities, which is convoyed by the abrupt inequity of income distribution, environmental disasters, displacement of rural and indigenous communities, and homelessness proliferation. Australian cities are faced with new challenges regarding changing domestic lifestyles. There are a rich diversity and variety of living forms -formal and informal ones- with people inhabiting alone or sharing together, for instance, with couples without children, mono-parental families with one child or clans of immigrants. How can new social forms give response to new housing types? During decades, the commodification of suburbia has ignored the rightto-the-city, making them less inclusive and sustainable. This detachment has generated dysfunctional residential models with poor spatial quality regarding streets and housing types, reduced accessibility and mobility to public transport, and no mixture of uses causing physical and social fissures between the domestic and public realms. An example of social exclusion are the so-called gated communities. How can residential buildings strengthen urban structures? Street and houses are indivisible structured and structuring forms.

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY FLEXIBILITY, ADAPTABILITY & POLYVALENCE

DEFINITIONS

The notions of Open Building created by John Habraken (1961) and Open Society coined by Jaap Bakema (1975) define our built environment as an open organism. Dwellings are collective constructions. They are open systems. Adaptability refers to use change whilst Flexibility denotes any spatial alteration of house. Polyvalence relates primarily to the interchangeability of activities and living patterns.

FLEXIBLE HOUSING It means a housing model that is spatially adjusted to the changing needs of users. It accommodates new technologies as they emerge. It also attains to the building frame allowing the possibility of multiple arrangements as well as time modification. ADAPTIVE HOUSING It refers to the programmatic inner transformation of housing types and configurations regarding functions. POLYVALENT HOUSING It combines flexibility and adaptability. Polyvalence in residential terms means that a dwelling can be used in different ways without adjustment to the way. It empowers occupiers to take control of their dwelling over its lifetime. Economically, it prevents deterioration and costs associated in reconfiguration or refurbishment and facilitates the upgrading of technologies applied to services. There exist degrees of polyvalence. Polyvalent forms depend on the number of possible spatial combinations of activities, room size and the relationship between served spaces (rooms) vs. servant spaces (service buffer). The larger the rooms, the higher the polyvalence factor to distribute the basic functions among them.

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR), BUILDING COVERAGE RATIO (BCR) & BIOCAPACITY LAND COVERAGE RATIO (BLx-CR) DEFINITIONS Land to Building Ratio Divide the square footage of the land parcel by the square footage of the building to arrive at the land to building ratio. Building coverage ratio (BCR) The ratio of the building area divided by the land (site) area. Building area means the floor space of a building when looking down at it from the sky. Floor area ratio (FAR) It is the ratio of a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total floor area(gross floor area) to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built. It is often used as one of the regulations in city planning along with the building-to-land ratio. Floor Area ratio is sometimes called floor space ratio (FSR), floor space index (FSI), site ratio or plot ratio. The difference between FAR and FSI is that the first is a ratio, while the latter is an index. Index numbers are values expressed as a percentage of a single base figure. Thus an FAR of 1.5 is translated as an FSI of 150%. Biocapacity land coverage ratio (BLCR) Urban biocapacity measures how much biologically productive urban area is available to regenerate/restore these resources and services by calculating the amount of biologically productive urban area available to provide all bio-resources an area consumes and to absorb waste. For instance, Water (Blue) and Green (Green) represent biocapacity elements. BCR is the ratio of urban biocapacity area divided by the land (site) area. Biocapacity area means the floor space of a building when looking down at it from the sky.

Climate change is a uniform and global pattern (Neukom, Steiger, Gómez-Navarro, Wang & Werner, J., 2019), being the “ultimate challenge for economics” (Nordhaus, 2019). This is the new urban question. For instance, a person in the World’s richest 1% uses 175 times more carbon than one in the bottom 10 percent (Oxfam, 2015). The scope of this transformation required tosurface limit warming to 1.5°C is historically Change in maximum temperature unprecedented. It could only be achieved through societal transformation For Geelong, Summer temperatures and ambitious emissions reduction measures. Climate change affects both cities and the environment in the world (Wallace-Wells, 2019).

around 2°C, and we can then compare regional changes and patterns. Figure 56 shows when global warming plateaus at around 2°C, in BRACE, Victorian average annual temperature is a little above 2°C, relative to the 1920–1940 baseline (the

historical runs from 1850 indicated change from 1850–1920 of less than 0.1°C). There is regional variation, however (Figure 57) and the changes range from 2.2 to 2.5°C, with a mean of 2.3°C.

Climatically, the occurrence of heatwaves is a global problem, especially in the Global South. Due to Climate Change, growing global temperature are resulting in acute water crisis and adverse urban thermal environment caused by the Urban Heat Island (UHI). More frequent and hotter heatwaves (HW) are expected and the number of highly unusual hot days is projected to increase the most in the tropics (IPCC, 2014). The Global Climate Risk Index (CRI) period 1999–2019 mapped South and West Asia region as the most vulnerable region on Earth (IPCC, 2014). In Australia, heat stress, drought and bushfire have already a direct impact on agriculture, water accessibility and urban systems mainly in Southern Australian cities with the largest increase in the number of HW days. Figure 56. Victorian average annual temperature in 11 simulations under the BRACE program where global mean temperature

The climate change projections show that average temperatures will increase in all seasons. More hot days and fewer frosts are projected. Hot days and heatwaves will be exacerbated in some parts of Australian cities caused by UHI effect (CSIRO & Bureau of Meteorology, 2015). Fuel-based urban economies are the main driver of climate change with heat stress, poor air and water quality, intermittent food supply, etc. Compact means less footprint and more bio-capacity. New housing types need to offset the current ecological footprint. The denser the better.

Range of max temperature (˚C) changes

Regional climate modelling (ACT 2019) has identified four most significant impacts: [a] bushfires, more frequent and severe as rainfall is reduced and temperatures increase in hot seasons; heatwaves, hotter (day and night), longer and more frequent; drought, more frequent and prolonged as rainfall is seasonally more variable; storms, more frequent and severe over a longer summer season, with flash flooding and violent winds. The substantial increasing in drought months (of 80%) and extremely hot days (>35°C) will prolong extreme fire days and will spread larger woodland areas burnt.

SRD763 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN MASTER STUDIO A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & BUILT ENVIRONMENT DEAKIN UNIVERSITY AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTS DECLARE CLIMATE & BIODIVERSITY EMERGENCY https://au.architectsdeclare.com The twin crises of climate breakdown and biodiversity loss are the most serious issue of our time. Globally, buildings and construction play a major part, accounting for nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions whilst also having a significant impact on our natural habitats. For everyone working in the construction industry, meeting the needs of our society without breaching the earth’s ecological boundaries will demand a paradigm shift in our behaviour. Together with our clients, we will need to commission and design buildings, cities and infrastructures as indivisible components of a larger, constantly regenerating and self-sustaining system. The research and technology exist for us to begin that transformation now, but what has been lacking is collective will. Recognising this, we are committing to strengthen our working practices to create architecture and urbanism that has a more positive impact on the world around us.

We will seek to: – Raise awareness of the climate and biodiversity emergencies and the urgent need for action amongst our clients and supply chains. – Advocate for faster change in our industry towards regenerative design practices and a higher Governmental funding priority to support this. – Establish climate and biodiversity mitigation principles as the key measure of our industry’s success: demonstrated through awards, prizes and listings. – Share knowledge and research to that end on an open source basis. – Evaluate all new projects against the aspiration to contribute positively to mitigating climate breakdown, and encourage our clients to adopt this approach. – Upgrade existing buildings for extended use as a more carbon efficient alternative to demolition and new build whenever there is a viable choice. – Include life cycle costing, whole life carbon modelling and post occupancy evaluation as part of our basic scope of work, to reduce both embodied and operational resource use. – Adopt more regenerative design principles in our studios, with the aim of designing architecture and urbanism that goes beyond the standard of net zero carbon in use. – Collaborate with engineers, contractors and clients to further reduce construction waste. – Accelerate the shift to low embodied carbon materials in all our work. – Minimise wasteful use of resources in architecture and urban planning, both in quantum and in detail. In Australia, we as architects are aware that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have long espoused the cultural, social, economic and environmental benefits embedded in the holistic relationship of Caring for Country.

URBAN FORM & HOUSING FOLLOWS CLIMATE How we tackle the pressing challenges of urbanisation whilst maintaining the environment and climate balances? Circa 60% of the urban areas that will exist in 2050 have not yet been built. Australian’s level of urbanisation is 89% with the population living in just 0.22% of the country’s land area and 85% per cent living within 50 kilometres of the coastline, with around 9 million people living in two large cities, Melbourne and Sydney. Nowadays postindustrial cities are archipelagos of vacant spaces. These gaps are the ultimate challenge to restore and regenerate creatively our endangered urban ecosystems (Suau, 2018). How can cities thrive in an era of decreasing resources? What can we play instead to naturalise our cities? Many cities still struggle in their transition to implement a viable circular economy model incorporating meaningful actions supported by regenerative and restorative practices. Urban settlements are placed where most materials are used and wasted, and where buildings, lands, and other infrastructures are constantly underutilised. For instance, the phenomenon of urban shrinkage or the “Doughnut City” effect has generated many dysfunctional voids in the core of post-industrial cities far from green, convivial, safe or healthy open spaces. The lack of urbanity is still an unresolved problem. The size, span, and harshness of the problem make it difficult to foresee and implement. Although Climate Change has been on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) and the Melbourne Principles for Sustainable Cities (2002) for several years, it remains a marginal alarm and many city authorities continue taking short-sighted steps in the wrong direction (e.g. alarms of high air pollution thresholds in large Australian cities). Both urban development policies and codes have been manifestly inadequate and premised on forms of incremental managerialism and proceduralism, which are entirely detached to the urgency of ongoing urban threats. Urban innovators, planners and architects should demand the deployment of effective grassroot and adaptive actions towards greener, healthier and more enjoyable common places changing the perceptions in our habitats.

This SRD763 Design Unit will integrate technologies and environmental analysis into a sustainable design and development of projects. Lectures will introduce students to the principles of sustainability and human needs, construction, structure, climate and energy applied into advanced architectural design. Students will develop an understanding of how technologies affect architectural design from conceptualisation to completion of the building process at any level, and also the appropriated use of building technologies applied in buildings.

This unit will also introduce the ISD (Integral Sustainable Design) framework as a means to facilitate the holistic INTEGRATION of environmental considerations and responsibilities into the design and development process. It ensures feedback loops occur throughout all design stages between brief requirements, design intent and environmental considerations so that the final project is a symbiosis of all three – and more than the sum of its parts.

At the end of the module students should achieve fresh know-how on sustainable building criteria/performances and environmental design principles. They will be able to understand design and construction as a whole by integrating structural, climatic and constructive principles in dwellings.
