Project Type : Postgraduate Urban Design Studio A - Urban Street
Location : Fishermen’s Bend, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Street/Sidewalk Prototype
This project is a part of urban design graduate first year project. Street is part of paths which is one of the most important physical element of the city (Lynch, 1960).
Street has an objective to accommodate people’s movement throughout all places. Without street, there will be no activity happening around the area (Krier, 1979).
Here is a take on how a ‘street’ could be while considering the civic spaces, filling the need for social, recreational and playful aspects of their lives.
Designing streets with these features in mind enhances urban living by allowing for spontaneous meetings, cultural expression, and shared experiences.

Type 1 Type 1 - Detail
Type 2 - Detail
This street prototype is based on Hong Kong’s street type research, with the goal of determining whether or not this typology might function in other contexts where land use is limited due to ongoing population increase. Street is more than just a transit system’ it’s a location for people to live, an activity centre, and a continuation of life.
These streets become vital components of urban life, fostering connections and maximizing the functionality of constrained urban spaces in an era of increasing density.
The site is situated within a transect of the Fishermans Bend precinct. To the south lies a residential neighborhood of landed houses, forming part of the Wirraway Precinct. The site is flanked to the west and east by a park and an industrial warehouse complex, respectively. A highway bisects the central transects, creating accessibility challenges. To the north, the site directly faces the Yarra River.
The site faces several challenges, with flooding being the primary concern. Its proximity to the Yarra River exposes it to the riverine, stormwater, and coastal flooding. Additionally, uneven terrain and height restrictions on buildings, imposed to regulate sunlight exposure, complicate development.
This framework addresses the urgent needs of Fishermans Bend by transitioning from a heavy industrial focus to a quarternary and tertiary economic model that supports the surrounding businesses. It emphasizes the creation of collaborative spaces and enhanced connectivity, bridging the site’s functions with the broader world. Urban wetlands and adaptable landscapes are proposed as innovative solutions to mitigate flooding and improve resilience.
North Transect
Flood Mitigation
Collaborative Spaces Mixed-Use
Staggered urban wetlands are deliberately constructed to reduce flooding by collecting and regulating water flow before it spreads across the Fishermans Bend corridor, protecting the entire area from inundation. These wetlands act as natural sponges, absorbing excess stormwater, lowering runoff, and slowing the progression of floodwaters.
The goal of this area is to encourage collaboration by influencing the surrounding Fishermans Bend corridors and eventually creating extensive collaborative spaces. These places produce many forms of outcomes for interactions while also interacting with nature and acting as a retention pond.
This region is connected to the opposite side of the transect by an overhead bridge. It has podium-style buildings with a variety of functions, including commercial space and residential flats.

Albury Ligature Project 02
Year : 2023
: Urban Design - Transport Project Location : Albury, New South Wales, Australia
This project is a part of architecture undergraduate’s final project. The selected area is an effort to connect eco-tourism and using nature as the appropriate approach. The intention of using such concept is to bring back the definition of what is called ‘green building’ into the development of the resort.
The emergence of this idea
comes from knowing about the effect of what human being brings to nature that continuously extend the effect of a built building above a land, specifically ones that are protected. Built over 18.474 m2 land and 600 m higher elevation above the sea, located between Mount Gede Pangrango and Mount Salak, some areas are cultivated and so each buildings does not interrupt the cultivation

Site Context
Albury is located in southern New South Wales, right on the border with Victoria. With the planned HighSpeed Rail proposal connecting two
major cities, Melbourne and Sydney, Albury has the potential to expand rapidly. Realising this, our approach tries to propose a future scenario that maximises its potential. The Hume Highway passes through Albury from north to south.
Serving as the primary freight route to Wodonga and Levington, separating the city into two half. It is bordered by mountainous terrain, with the Murray River to the south. The city is well-known for its unique natural and heritage landscape, and it was legally designated as a regional hub for Indigenous Australian and European society interaction in 1814. Albury City recognises the Wiradjuri people as the traditional custodians of the land.
Albury faces challenges such as high car dependence, limited cycling infrastructure and connections to key destinations, few people walk and cycle to work, need for coordinated public transport planning between Albury and Wodonga to ensure cohesive and integrated growth, and need to prioritise good walking environments integrating physical activity.
Figure Ground - Mapping
According to the figure ground map study, our analysis concluded that it is critical to preserve Albury’s heritage since it plays a vital role in the city. In terms of transportation, Albury and Woodongan’s biggest challenge is its car-dependent topography, which includes isolated development clusters and poorly developed public transportation.

Albury Urban Development
Both east and west grid development is based on the existing grid it already laid on. The east grid then extended to the suburb by making Schubach street an ‘urban’ street, increasing east-west permeability and densification. Isolating green spaces connect the network with pocket green spaces which connect with large open spaces of the city solving flooding issue in a larger pocket.
Our main strategies started with:
1. Station Location -> Located beside old Albury’s station, along hume street to activate Hume Street
2. Light Rail -> Located on Hume street as Hume street regeneration
3. Urban Forest -> Act as a civic space for people of Albury and provides flooding intervention
4. East-West Connection -> Gradual development along east and west
5. Finegrain/pocket open space - courtyard -> To introduce permeability with the existing grid
Development grows gradually from monument hill - and densifies around the new station area - new station sits in the valley. Visual corridor created at strategic points along:
- Hume - light rail
- Smollet - Cycling oriented
- Dean - Pedestrian oriented
Our proposed strategy does not impose on the current heritage overlay. Government - owned land gives potential and priority to be developed first. Underutilized public green spaces need to be activated. A large mass of land is covered with big box retail - hindrance - causing impermeability - station front lined with big box disconnects city and station. Car-oriented landscape - is a potential recreational spaces are currenty used for parking - it has a potential for development.

Albury’s Section
The urban living room structured the development in central Albury as a meeting point for socio-spatial development around the new HSR Station.The Urban living room acts as a multi-purpose space. It mitigates the ecological impacts of suburban growth on the river corridor and sensitive areas, creating a cooling effect to tackle the Urban Heat Island (UHI) from intense forms of development and absorbing excess flooding going through Albury’s downtown.

Project Type : Urban Design - Infrastructure Project
Location : Docklands, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Docklands currently faces issues of poor network integration and access, a condition which will only be exarcebated by effects of climate change. Consequently, more must be considered in a bridge than start or end points, also interrogating how the infrastructure can grow and adapt in alignment with unknown future needs. Beyond this, we examine how a bridge can become a catalyst
for change, combining structural systems, ecological restoration and food security into a confluence of productive networks to engage with the coming uncertainty positively.
Development
One of the important findings from Dockland’s history record is identifying its original island form far back to 1800’s. Where colonial settlement has not occured, Dockland’s is in its natural state as a swamp area before turned into artificial canal in which flooding starts to occur.
With the expansion of Melbourne and the need for better infrastructure, the swamp was artificially modified into a network of canals and reclaimed land to facilitate trade and industrial activities. These artificial changes disrupted the natural water flow, leading to persistent flooding issues.
Efforts to manage flooding in Docklands involve drainage systems and flood barriers. However, its history as a swamp serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between urban expansion and environmental sustainability.
DATA & RESEARCH
1. Flooding
2. High-Risk Properties & Affected Population
3. Environment Risk
4. Solar Analysis
5. Space Syntax Analysis
6. Wet Grid Analysis
This flooding analysis map shows Docklands’s most affected area caused by flooding. Most of Docklands area will be affected by tidal flooding where ocean or other bodies of water rises above typical levels in the ocean (in this case, Yarra River which is connected to Hobson’s bay, an inlet of Bass Strait on the south-central coast of Victoria), flooding coastal or low-lying communities.
2. High-Risk Properties Affected Population
It is important to identify which buildings or properties will be most impacted by flooding as most of Docklands household live in High-Rise Apartment Buildings. Most of these properties would not be premium in the next future and it will be difficult to continue for investment. Insurers may demand higher premiums or refuse to cover houses in flood-prone locations such as Docklands.
As the sea water level rises, in parallel, the number of people (in this case, households) affected by flooding will also increase. These number of people will need to migrate to different areas with low-risk flooding. The number of people affected by flooding is increasing far faster than previouslyl predicted, driven by a combination of population increase, climate change and migration into flood-prone areas.
3. Environment Risk Analysis
The Yarra River is Melbourne’s most important natural asset, and all Melbournians depend on it. It provides 70% of piped water to Melbourne residents and is also crucial habitats for wildlife and native species. The State Government published (September 2013) its latest Index of Stream Conditions for the Yarra.
This sun path analysis is positioned for a month. It lays the groundwork for predicting when and where sunlight will be present in the urban landscape to support design infrastructure with optimal natural lighting.
Radiation Analysis
Solar radiation analysis is used for analysing and mapping the geographical and temporal patterns of sunlight exposure, which is critical driver of many natural and man-made processes.
Existing Road Network. Current Docklands road network mainly tries to connect to Melbourne’s CBD area. As it is developed to be an extension of CBD. With the flooding analysis, some of these road network would be broken once tidal flood occur.
5. Space Syntax Analysis
Space Syntax Analysis -Storm Surge Level
47 cm Sea-Level Rise Storm Surge Effect. Docklands area will possibly submerge on ground level once storm surge happened especially on the north wharf area. Even if the storm surge remains constant, sea level rise allows it to travel further inland and flood bigger areas.
Potential Bridge Connectivity. The sea-level rise analysis shown broken links between each different point areas in Docklands.
6. Wet Grid Analysis
Using Frei Otto’s modeling technique of ‘optimised path systems’, modelling technique, flexibility should be a significant strategy in adjusting to the Docklands Flooding Challenge.
The Docklands area has a few broken roads, which prevents great continuation between various parts of Docklands.
Traditionally, the bridge should serve as a linking hub, providing connectivity and the ability to grow to other areas outside of Docklands if necessary in the future.
This study assists in ‘finding (a) form’ by utilising crucial starting points or nodes to allow the bridge to respond structually by patterns formed from a collective network of desired lines, which in this case are roads that connect different areas of Docklands.
Wet Grid Analysis - Test 2
A few different approach is tested to find for the optimum coverage in responds to the flooding in different affected areas.
Using the expected rising sea-water level generated by the inundation storm surge as an anchor point to placed a starting point where the bridge would emerge. Each level produced a unique shape as a result of the impending water.
Wet Grid Analysis - Test 4
The numerous lines crisscrossing each other in different directions should be interpreted as a single form in a vague order. The linear elements and holes should be viewed as a single surface covering a specific length of surface area, working with one another.
Connecting on different levels of surfaces, covering not only the ground level since it is projected from the high-risk property analysis that most of the property is going to be affected by flooding and therefore needed a different alternative for an escape route.
Bridge System
This diagram outlines the processes happening on the bridge. The bridge itself will provide an ecosystem optimised to adapt to major challenges in Docklands area. There are four sectors that are mainly affected by flooding and solar exposure. The bridge system will include accommodations or specific facilities for the Docklands population.
Design Direction
Minimising Heat Absorption.
Solid buildings can absorb a large quantity of solar radiation and re-radiate it as heat, possibly warming the surrounding area. Suggesting an open bridge would probably absorb less heat.
Sunlight Exposure.
Allowing sunlight to reach the water’s surface is essential for the aquatic ecosystem
Built Environment and Heat Stress Reduction
Open structure may also face less thermal expansion stress, which help the bridge to last longer and require maintenance
Visual and Environment
Harmony
Infrastructure to connect to other already built environments surrounding prominent high-rise Docklands are

Privately-Owned Public Space 04
Year : 2024
Project Type : Urban Design - Research Thesis
Location : Ringwood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Urban streets, sidewalks, plazas and squares - publicly-owned, designed and maintained to serve particular kinds of activities and actively overseen by municipal authorities - are usually open to a variety of uses beyond the ones intended (Franck, K & Stevens, Q, 2007).
Inherently, public spaces, its definition and expectations demonstrates of a less rigid and more inclusive, where people are free to pursue variety of activities and gain full accessibility for different choices.
Public spaces is a place for the unexpected, the unregulated, the spontaneous and the risky (Franck, K & Stevens, Q, 2007). Lefebvre’s ‘right to the city’ which includes the ‘right to freedom, to individualization, to habitat and to inhabit’ is practiced through the existence of public spaces. The public realm is the ‘common’, to live together in the world means essentially that a world of things is between those who have it in common (Arendt, 1958). It
reveals the layers of society embedded within, blurring the boundaries between race and class, a possibility for chance encounters to multiply and proliferate. In recent years, more forms of what are commonly referred to as “public spaces” have appeared, such as gallerias, corporate plazas, atrium, and festival market places (Carr et al., 1992).
Despite being privately held and having limmited accessibility and freedom, they still provide opportunity for unforeseen activities. But concerns about ‘reduction in diversity and freedom of forms of public life and the undermining of democracy’ have been debated by researchers and advocates of public space, as Jane Jacobs would say ‘the end of public space’ (Jacobs, 1961). How does then Privately-Owned Public Space play out within Melbourne context?

THESIS FRAMEWORK
Privately - Owned Public Space (POPS)
Publicly - Owned Public Space
Identify, Evaluate, POPS characteristics
Place Indicators
The Privately-Owned Public Space (POPS) in itself is an oxymoron invention where public and private meaning juxtapose each other. It is a discourse between a democratic vs a neoliberal approach on a public space and are POP’s an example of blurring the line between private vs public?
What is defined as ‘public’ in POPS is ‘a physical place located on private property to which the owner has granted legally binding rights of access and use to members of the public, most often in return for something of value from the City to the owner’...’an easement held by the public on the owener’s property. Whose extent is defined by the City’s Zoning Resolution and by implementing legal actions’.
Through this, there are opportunities in these specialized areas to advocate for an improved high-quality public places.. However, a different approach may be necessary to fully realize this promise.
TYPOLOGY OF POPS
Comparing data of ownership, its relationship to the public, the scale, morphological and qualitative aspects of POPS between Melbourne and New York City and connecting it to its daily life of public space context, the next page aims to find pattern or characteristic for the future strategy of Privately-Owned Public Space
Case Study
Taking
New York City and Melbourne’s POPS typology to compare the different effect of POPS Zoning Regulation.
Comparing different building typology plans to see the boundaries between public space and the area that is regarded to be owned by private enterprises.
Comparing different building typology parcel to identify the authorised bounds when buildings can be developed.
URBAN PLAZA THROUGH
POCKET PARK
In conclusion, both quantitative and qualitative study indicate that each feature is essential to the evaluation of POPS. Visibility inquires people to look - barriers or obstruction in POPS hinder movement, potentially transforming these spaces into hostile environments that remain underutilised.
Facilitating the redistribution of POPS ensure accessibility for all, regardless of whether in suburban or urban areas, given the plethora of underutilised POPS locations. People should have access to high-quality POPS that serve as an extension of their daily lives, ensuring equitable access to functional areas. However, for a location to be visible, it is crucial to acknowledge intermediary between public and private spaces - the paradox inherent in POPS. A relationship between public and private spaces is necessary. The link between the street and the POPS area encourages social interaction and chance encounter rather than perceiving them as isolated components.
Consequently, the relationship between the high-rise building is equally essential. The foucs is not on the xtent of coverage provided for a public space, but rahter on how to transform a limited space, defined by the nature of POPS,
into a vibrant and inviting environment for urban dwellers.
Scale is intrinsically linked to urban fabric, facilitating the construction of high-rise buildings inside city environments while preserving public access to open spaces.
This component requires an attraction - allure - an appeal for people to visit the POPS area through programs or activities. Programmed activities effectively demonstrate the permissible actions within POPS, given the inherent regulations and limitations of such areas.
The establishment of program activities enables public performance - ballet on the street - illustrating the potential for POPS to serve purposes beyond just seating areas.
FUTURE OF POPS
POPS IN RINGWOOD?
Design Implementation
POPS enable municipalities to raise the quantity of accessible public space without incurring the whole financial responsibility. In densely populated urban regions where land is limited and costly, POPS offer a means to develop facilities that improve the public environment. Ultimately, for POPS to function effectively, explicit agreements must be established between the government and private owners to guarantee that POPS stay genuinely public and adhere to their ‘public’ statement.
Ringwood - Introduction
Demographic
and Public Life
By considering current percentage of population in Ringwood, we identify the diverse population for the public space approach, Ringwood may develop inclusive, dynamic and well-utilized community places which represent and cater to its need.
An analysis of everyday living activities in Ringwood uncovers dynamic community participating in a range of programs and ecents which address varied interests and requirements for public space.

Determines the relationship
This study identifies five primary qualities, each interconnected based on prior research. Transforming POPS’s function from an isolated distributed area inside an urban fabric to a cohesive network of places that serves as a catalyst for various activities.
The many roles of the host building influenced the role of POPS accordingly. It serves either as a transition between public and private spaces as a direct connection from the street interface, functioning cohesively as a singular element.

Figure Ground - Urban Fabric Transformation
The former figure-ground property was occupied by Costco, a large-scale retail development that could be repurposed for increased density in future projects. By incorporating multi-story housing, community amenities, and efficient transportation access, the redevelopment could meet the rising demand for higher-density living while revitalizing the area. A diversified building type is intentionally introduced to create ambiguity between spaces such as cultural theatres, mixed-use developments, and social housing. This approach fosters organic interactions among residents, visitors, and workers, as spaces for art, culture, commerce, and living overlap and enrich each other.

Despite being concealed, the surrounding neighborhood is the most diverse, featuring social housing, mixed-use development, and a cultural theatre, all collectively sharing privately owned public spaces (POPS) in the center. This shared space fosters connection across different demographics, drawing together people from varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds into a vibrant community hub
The surrounding social housing provides affordable living options that seamlessly blend with mixed-use buildings offering retail, dining, and office spaces. This mix encourages spontaneous interactions, bringing together families, professionals, artists, and residents in a natural, inclusive way. The cultural theater adds an additional layer of vibrancy, offering performances, workshops, and community events that elevate the area’s creative spirit and draw a steady stream of visitors.

This POPS, immediately linked to the street and market, would exhibit the highest vibrancy due to the absence of boundaries between private and public spaces. Without fences or barriers, the POPS flows naturally into the surrounding urban fabric, creating a welcoming, open space that invites residents, visitors, and market-goers alike to move freely between spacesv
The POPS thus becomes more than just a thoroughfare or a stop-off point—it becomes a lively social hub where interactions flourish. The design encourages casual encounters among diverse groups, from families to professionals to tourists, strengthening the social fabric of the neighborhood
