PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Can architectural propinquity induce symbiosis between the community and creek and will this mend the damaged ecosophy? Situated at Gardiner’s creek, Glen Iris, the current site is encapsulated by blank interfaces with barriers of indirect, opaque interfaces, which prevent connection. The public and private realm suffer from this configuration and lack seamless transition. The Monash freeway has stripped Kooyong Koot of its identity and is the main culprit for the hostile environs at the trail. The arrangement of interactive interfaces generate activity through propinquity, however, there isn’t a formula that can be utilised to mend every disconnected ecosophy. Quasi realms allow residents and the public to form intimate connections, where there was previously awkward, dead space. The inclusion of Kooyong Koot creek within the facade encourages a symbiotic relationship between the social and natural ecology, thus influencing the individual ecology. Rejuvenating the ecosophy along Kooyong Koot will have a trickle effect on similar sites that have had their heritage stripped by white man’s infrastructure. This research aims to uncover methods of mending that disconnect through architecture.

QUASI REALM BREAKDOWN

Quasi realms have been implemented to foster connection through architectural means.

Quasi public is a space created for all office workers. Multiple business’ operate out of Koot Central, this space allows all to form connections organically.

Quasi private spaces are filled with amenities exclusive to residents. This initiates interaction with neighbours and promotes bonding. An architectural solution to the dense apartment buildings with poor social congregation.
