Our main streets have become generic, filled with ever expanding chain stores and neutral developments of retail expansion. Where once there were thriving, eclectic and local collections of independent grocers, butchers, bakers there is now a bland expanse of corporations that decide what we read, eat

and wear. The Camberwell Market provides an example of diversity that is both local, regional and universal. This proposal seeks to meld the market model within a diverse mixed-use development that encourages temporality, a reinforcement of local cultures of place and an experientially rich formal

language for living, working and interacting. The proposal seeks to intersect the urban and suburban condition within a form that reflects and transposes a regional Camberwellian/Melbournian vernacular, whatever that might be.
