Responsibilities: research and application on bigger scheme of the city full version booklet: reserach: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a9Yilfjtu9U6NdZoIrJYzdd8y1dJmfvz/view?usp=sharing final: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DUoSkZ2KD3Ttj-mPubH0Z1ZCR73Ssbn4/view?usp=sharing
Currently, the most vibrant nighttime activities in Victoria are happening in Melbourne. However, it’s important to recognize that vibrant nighttime environments don’t have to be limited to urban areas; they can also thrive in suburban settings. Residents of suburban areas often tend to stay indoors after 7 PM, while those in urban areas may still be active—running errands, meeting friends, exercising outdoors in parks or gyms, or even just taking a walk.
To enhance the nighttime quality of the city overall, these activities should be embraced and supported by improving the overall aspect of the nighttime environment in suburban areas.
What strategies can be implemented to enhance the activation and enjoyment of Melbourne’s suburban public spaces during nighttime, making them as vibrant and welcoming as they are during daytime?
Nighttime activities have changed over time. In the pre-industrial era, night was mainly for rest, associated with myths and rituals. People stayed indoors, and curfews were common, making cities quiet after dark. The introduction of street lighting with electricity allowed people to extend their activities into the night, reducing safety concerns. This sparked the growth of nighttime activity. As businesses started operating 24/7 during the capitalist era, the demand for night workers increased, leading to the rise of the nighttime economy. By the late 19th century, this shift was further driven by globalisation.
Public spaces activation program: Night Market
Night market are predominantly urban activators in cities of global south. However, in the global north, such of markets tend to be more of a top-down process ,initiated by government provision rather than by the people themselves. Therefore, how can night market be incorporated into Melbourne’s suburban areas, given the governance characteristics as global north system?
Nightscape of a City explores how nighttime activities and the nighttime economy are connected and have become an essential part of contemporary urban life, driving social, cultural, and economic vibrancy in cities. By looking at global and local case studies on nighttime activity in public spaces, with a focus on night markets, this research highlights the potential of night markets to transform Melbourne’s suburban public spaces. With insights from global practices tailored to Melbourne’s policy landscape and suburban context, night markets can help address gaps in public space usage, foster inclusivity, and create a stronger sense of safety and community.
Bringing night markets into suburban areas requires a multi-layered approach that combines historical awareness, cultural sensitivity, and creative urban design strategies. By adapting global ideas to fit Melbourne’s suburban context, this study imagines a future where night markets become hubs for community interaction and suburban revitalisation, leading the way to a 24-hour city that thrives beyond the city centre.
Ringwood Activity Centre
Night Market Connectivity within Ringwood Road
Ringwood Activity Centre
To activate the Ringwood area at night, particularly the Activity Centre, we will introduce several night markets in different districts, each with its own distinct characteristics. This strategy will help keep the Activity Centre lively at night. To successfully develop nighttime activity, we must ensure the quality of public infrastructure, such as street furniture, and cultivate active edges within dense areas to support future main events like night markets. This approach will also gradually foster a sense of safety and security among resvidents, encouraging them to enjoy nighttime strolls around the city without fear.
As Gruen and Smith (1960) discussed in the Dumbbell Theory for shopping malls, a similar concept applies to the connection between the station and the temporary night market in the Eastland Parking Building. The station and multifunctional space in the parking building serve as anchors, with Ringwood Road connecting them. This road, lined with active edges like shopfronts and restaurants, enhances pedestrian engagement and links to other areas designated for future night markets, creating a dynamic, interconnected urban space.
Night Market Development : informality towards more formalised typology
temporary night market in a carpark can evolve into a permanent structure integrated with privately-owned public spaces (POPS). This transformation enhances vibrancy, accessibility, and social interaction, strengthening connections between the market, the community, and the urban environment.

Night Market as final urban activator
During the day, the street operates as a main vehicular and bus route, with limited hawker kiosks to avoid disrupting transit and maintain accessibility. At night, it transforms into a vibrant hub with two night market types: a street market for goods and packaged food and an on-site market for hot food in semi-permanent structures. These markets, connected to surrounding buildings, blend formal and informal spaces, offering flexibility, lively interactions, and diverse experiences for vendors and visitors.
During the day, the garden street serves as an open public space, with market furniture folded away and doubling as shopfront-like fixtures to draw interest. In the evening, it transforms into a semi-permanent market, where kiosks extend from building facades to host vendors specialising in food and art. Partnering with local artists and vendors, the market offers a dynamic atmosphere, with tactical furniture promoting playful interaction and strengthening community connections while activating the space.

Within the context of a flooded Docklands region, this cellular bridge re-instates community living and public connectivity, morphing from ecologically sensitive materials, re-purposed objects and biomaterials grown on site.
How can a ‘living’ bridge self-evolve, restore, and stimulate social progress whilst protecting local ecologies through the fusion of city, industrial and public life?
Rethinking Waste: From Pollution to Biomaterials
Plastic waste, especially from packaging and construction, fuels environmental pollution and microplastic contamination. Chitosan, derived from seafood waste, offers a sustainable alternative—biodegradable, durable, and antimicrobial. By reimagining waste as a resource, we can drive ecological restoration and sustainable material innovation.
Existing Context
As seen on this map, the green spaces are fragmented, disrupting ecological habitat continuity and diminishing social benefits. Docklands and Fishermen Bends are in a floodprone area, hence, making these areas susceptible to further segregation.
Strategic Planning
Docklands evolved from a swamp in the 1830s to Victoria Dock in the 1880s and later into a waterfront city. Currently, 57% of Yarra River waters are in poor condition due to pollution. The area faces biodiversity loss, weak green connections, and future flood risks. Despite this, strategic biodiversity efforts offer hope for ecological recovery.
To combat these issues we are proposing green corridors to reconnect the existing green spaces and establish permeable open spaces for social and ecological connectivity. North wharf will be restored into a wetland acting as a natural buffer during heavy rainfalls or flooding event.
Urban Development Phases
Phase 1 (0 years) focuses on establishing the industrial core in Fisherman’s Bend and Docklands, with materials transported via a shaft under the Bolte Bridge.
Phase 2 (10 years) introduces a bioresearch and chitosan production hub at North Wharf, completing the industrial core and initiating pod growth.
Phase 3 (20 years) expands the research cores and adds secondary cores in North Wharf to enhance city connections.
Phase 4 (30 years) sees widespread pod attachments, forming bridge connections and emphasizing wetlands restoration. In the
Final Phase (50 years), the bridge network and restored landscape are complete, with the Bolte Bridge becoming pedestrian-accessible, achieving socio-ecological restoration.
Urban Sections
Activates pod bridges with shared paths for zero-emission transport, enhancing connectivity, safety, and vibrancy through technology.
Creates an accessible, varied interface for central public areas, supporting diverse functions. Promotes chitosan for buildings and amenities.
A collaborative multi-sector setup with vertical navigation through a central core and shared spaces. Research and production zones sit near the water for material access and monitoring, while community living rises for better public connectivity.
Central public path, with active edges opening inwards mixed use spaces, and playing with visual and physical permeability. Allowing for different spatial experiences and open space typologies.
Dedicated spaces for commercial activity and public transportation such as ZEVs, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Subject Coordinators: Dr. James Whitten, Dr. Iain Lawrie
Responsibilities: Urban Design Strategic Planning, Landscape planning, 3D landscape and visualisation, perspective illustrations full version booklet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17JpN4tHpIMNFX5D5jHzjMpiwpb9lwrqW/view?usp=sharing
Albury is located in southern New South Wales, right on the border of Victoria, with the future High-Speed Rail proposal between connecting 2 major cities Melbourne and Sydney, Albury has potential to grow exponentially. Realising this, our proposal aims to provide a future scenario cater to its best potential.
Existing Scenario of Albury
The station area is congested with big-box retail and underdeveloped landscaping. Dean Street has heritage buildings, while the city features small-scale commercial and residential developments, with few institutional or hospitality buildings. The east is dominated by mono-functional suburban houses.
Hume Highway runs through Albury from north to south as its main freight transport towards Wodonga and Levington, dividing the city into two halves. It is surrounded by hilly terrain and the Murray river on the south. as the traditional custodians of the land.
Main Strategies
We aim to address severance from the Hume Highway, railway, and underutilised land, while preserving Albury’s heritage, including Aboriginal heritage. The new High-Speed Rail will drive urban development, with a central urban living room acting as a meeting point for social interaction and biodiversity.
East West Connection Pocket open spaces and public spaces 100 year plan to deck over Hume Highway
We propose an ‘Urban Living Room’ at Albury’s centre, strengthening green links while connecting colonial, pre-colonial, and contemporary narratives amid High-Speed Rail-driven growth. Inspired by Wiradjuri art on the Wagirra Trail, the design ties the landscape to the riverbank. Serving as a civic and transport hub, it unites east-west development, the old and new stations, and diverse transit modes, creating a community-focused space.
The new HSR station is located beside the old Albury station, right across Hume Street in order to reactivate it and strengthen the eastwest connection. Reconnecting the suburbs, the station acts as a city-bridge with a transition of compact and dense pedestrian friendly development. In regards to the state significance, the station becomes a civic and regional centre for Albury and woodanga. Two more bridges have been added to the 3 existing three, one opening up to hume street and the other opening up to a terrace overlooking the urban living room.
The station design has 3 platforms for light rail, hSR and regional train lines that open into a common area which seamlessly connects to an external bus station, It also has an activated front along the garden with commercial activities on the ground floor. For the first floor which serves as our main east west connection we also focused on creating an environment with different spatial experiences with courtyards, verandahs, atriums, and terraces
challenges the idea of private developments near station areas by creating a sustainable, equitable space that welcomes everyone.
It provides a public transport-focused corridor fast-tracking future developments on the poorly developed Hume street.
Caters to pedestrian-friendly lively landscape in place of single-use residential suburbs.

The Fisherman’s Bend have a masterplan to be a place for create NEIC (National Employment and Innovation Centre). The major problems that occur in this area is flooding and being used as an industrial area which is categorized as the secondary industry for the manufacturer. The NEIC built a vision to shift the “industry” into tertiary and quaternary industry which create intangible products from it (service and technology). From this phenomenon and vision of Fisherman’s Bend future development, the design has aim to create a brand new space for enhancing the society and support goverment’s plan to make NEIC happen.
Enhancing meaning to embrace the background of its nature history, to increase the sociological aspects to create a better community, and being resilient to the flooding issue.
