M U LT I F U N C T I O N M E LT O N Master Landscape Studio 4 Master Planning for Metropolitan Melbourne

With the vision of growing a social-sustainable city for Melbourne, we should start by implementing the vision on suburban scale. Melton, a suburb located 35km west from Melbourne CBD, is one of the highly potential areas for urban growth in metropolitan M e l b o u r n e . I t s a r e a i s 2 5 . 2 k m 2 w i t h p o p u l a t i o n o f 1 2 7, 6 7 7 ( T h e City of Melton Community Profile 2014). It has potential to be develop as a social-sustainable suburb for the city growth due to its moderate current density and undeveloped land.

Community facilities include both public and private medical centres and hospital, churches, library, post office, police station and fire station

Small natural patch scattered within the neighbourhood to provide opportunities for local produce and education about foor resources Over 50% of Melton will be developed for residential purpose without dramatic change in existing population density (2.42 persons per hectare), and mixed use development provides future residents relatively affordable options

Landscape Architecture Thesis This thesis is an experimental framework exploring how urban agriculture can be implemented in Arden-Macaulay with adaption to the existing structure plan by the City of Melbourne. The proposal aims to provide people at Arden-Macaulay psychological well-being and food education through the urban farm system, which will achieve the goal of ‘driving the circle of life by the c i r c l e o f f o o d ’. A p r o g r e s s i v e p l a n w i l l b e d r a w n f r o m t h e p r o p o s e d road hierarchy system by the City of Melbourne within 40 years time frame in 4 stages (greenway, laneways , connectors and local centres), the scales and target users of the programs will evolve progressively according to the aging demographics of the residents in the area. The resolved framework will be the result of a collaboration between scientific and theoretical methodologies to reflect the sciences and arts of landscape architecture.

RAWSCAPE Landscape Architecture Manifesto Landscape is possible to cultivate and record the critical moment of conflict. No infrastructure can solve the complex social issues in London. If we wish to conver t London into a new 24 hour cit y, we should use landscape as a medium for the raw opinions to be exploded instead, which is defined as Rawscape in this manifesto. It is not limited to spatial landscape, but also other potential landscapes, such as social and culinary landscape. Landscape has potential to add freedom to cit y and eliminate anxiet y from cit y, where people are free from judgement and socio-economic status to express ideas. It is capable of recording how the conflicts may be converted into opportunities for a change without compromising deep values of all. There are four essential steps required before we star t ‘cooking’ Rawscape in order to make the best out of it . Firstly, we need to understand the current social issues of London. Secondly, potential to turn the tension with the cit y into oppor tunit y can be examined through conceptual theories . Thirdly, inspirations for the ingredients to enhance Rawscape can be drawn from various urban design and landscape architecture master minds . Four thly, a preparation framework should be set up before the ‘cooking’ can star t . Finally, Rawscape cooked by different techniques will cultivate and record the conflict at different level, which will make 24 hour city scheme possible in London. The aim of this manifesto is to explore ideas about how to create such landscape to cultivate and record conflicts with the use of various elements for public space. The elements are the ingredients for Rawscape, which can be cooked in multiple ways to create custom Rawscapes in different scales. Therefore, they perform different levels of effect.
