Architecture Design in Community Garden

Adelaide, Australia

Individual Project | Studio Project Enviornmental Design Studio

For this regenerating community garden project, I focus on the surrounding, which includes nature, neighbours and passers-by, because I believe the community lives within the syrrounding. So, to merge and reconnecting with the surrounding could drive the community garden to become active again.

To achieve it, I first design a nature front boundary with a water feature, to remove the distance between garden and public. I also allow existing Linde park to flow into the site using landscape design to reconnect with the nature. Then I manipulate the building design by considering the functions to integrate with existing garden, also environmental performence to meet with the site condition and requirements of the programmes.

RE-MERGE with nature

BOUNDARY and ENTRANCE DESIGN STRATEGY SURROUNDING

Original boundary with poor visibility

Using landscape design to merge the Linde Park from entrance to welcome people in, also creating a natural boundary with pond to feel close to the nature environment

Designing activities possibility at the entrance to create interaction with the passerby. ex. straw bale workshop & exchange market

Adding

strip panel with track system along the corridor to flexible control the shadow according to the sun direction

Shaded semi-outdoor space for multi purpose use for social gathering and event space, which also connect to the garden area.

Open space as a buffer zone between workshops can prevent sound disturbs the rooms directly, and also provide space for resting and social.

Strawbale wall workshop is easy and good for community activity for all ages to participate. Also, represent existing straw bale cob material to provide natural texture

BAMBOO PANEL

FUNCTION RELATIONSHI P

INTEGRATE with garden

WATER LAB

Showcase the different stage of the purity of water using natural resources like stone, sand and pebbles. Also to educate the different type of water resources which could affect the growth of plants and taste of foods.

GARDEN

Using proper water type from water lab for gardening to provide ingredients for differents workshop usage

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY

All cooking, soap making and dyeing workshops can use the resources within the community garden

Use store water for pottery workshop, the finished pots and plates can be use for plants growth and food serving

OUTDOOR NATURAL SUNLIGHT

MOBILE TRUCK FUNCTION

The mobile truck I have integrated with the toys and bags library, so on weekdays it serves as a sewing station to passers-by, and at weekends, it will move to the park as a small market or event use, the free area will become a gathering space.

During weekdays provide sewing services for the passer-by

Close or ready to be transferred

During weekends can have a market or other small events at the park, and the free-up space becomes a gathering area

When on-site, it serves as a sewing station to provide service and teaching It can be moved out and trans ferred into a small pop-up market

|02| URBAN PANTRY

NATIVE ARBORETUM EXPERIENCE CENTRE AND MARKETPLACE

Architecture Design at Lot-Fourteen Adelaide, Australia

Individual Project | Studio Project Final Year Studio

WHY?

The project aims to present a new immersive food journey experience for tourists and locals, to enhance the interaction and attraction of native food and culture and facilitate people to care for the nature “Country”. Also, reflecting and communicating the Aboriginal stories and culture through architecture and a series of programmes, from food identity to preparing and cooking, trading, and finally to taste or use.

HOW?

This journey is to learn native food knowledge from ground growth, prep and use. The project will incorporate a native bush arboretum, an experience centre that includes workshop spaces for cooking and other hands-on activities, and a marketplace with different ways of displaying the food for people to feel and smell the nature.

To respond to the surrounding buildings and the garden, the proposed design structure serves as a buffer zone to transit from the city to nature. From steel to lightweight concrete and wood structures creating emphases on exhibitions and the built form.

RESPOND TO COUNTRY

The use of building materials to embody the Aboriginal concept of sustainability. Mycelium itself is an agency that fosters plant root growth and strengthens the soil network, putting burned wood undergrad, carbonized surface promotes the growth of mycelium, to create a “regenerative architecture”.

While the “Urban Pantry” serves as a buffer zone between the city and nature, the “Urban Catalyst” is designed to blend the boundary smoothly with landscaping and incorporate educational opportunities on native cultural knowledge. To create a playful and relaxing atmosphere for visitors to wander through the place and “Urban Pantry”.
