Futures Of The Concrete Lawn
Currently the Melbourne University campus is characterized by a large collection of European architectural styles. Thus, it would be nice to put some Aussie styled elements into the campus. The Concrete Lawn would be a great place to complement such style. The pathway of the lawn could also be filled with some Indigenous drawing elements so it does not merely consist of plain, Grey concrete.
Union Lawn used to be a lake and the campus would benefit from bring the lake back; as great vegetation and water cover would make the area much more interesting. It would also create a relaxing space in campus where students could go to clear thee mind or rest between classes. Concrete Lawn could be replaced by a downscale version of the original landscape of the lake with walking bridges crossing the site to allow for pedestrian movement between surrounding buildings.

"He may think he is an oracle, but though he'll never know the truth..." (The story was inspired by the movie 'The Truman Show')
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Man: "Hey there, how's it going? My name is... Ahh whatever, no one has ever told me my name. What's your name though?" "........." The Man: "Well, you are looking at me, right? I saw you swinging around at me." "........." (Camera remaining still) The Man: "Come on, talk to me! Don't be shy, you looked at me right! Didn't you!" "........."(Camera's recording light beeping) The Man: "Fine... Anyway, you must be some sort of special creature, right? You know, those things from the legend stories... You see, you are different to those... Mediocrities! ha! That's a cool word! Anyway, you can see me actually? I guess... You've got to be one of those subordinates, right? I've seen you guys around." "........." (Camera swinging around with the man) The Man: "Well, listen buddy, I'm only telling YOU about this. We are the same! I'm your leader here. (Whispering) I'm the God here you know; those people out there, hmm... I don't know who they actually are but they looks... Very strange. Care! They might be our enemy! But anyway, this whole place belongs to me now! Maybe you see this place a classroom, but nah nah nah nah, this is my dinning room! I do whatever I want, there's no limitation for me ha-ha... Isn't that cool?" "........."(Camera still recording) The Man: "Fine, I don't have time to waste with such an idiot!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Directors: "Another audience rating peak! Maybe we should get some more different cameras in there, boss!"
