Urban Escape is a redesign proposal of Birrarung, an urban park located between the dense urban environment of Melbourne CBD, and Yarra River.
Birrarung Marr acts as a vital green space, providing recreative opportunities for Melbourne’s population. Currently there aren’t many areas of seclusion and escape, therefore the addition of smaller spaces for visitors to explore and use would complete this larger scale of the site and it’s place in the city.
The new site designed by the fold and twist of the ground plane creates new experiential moments for occupants of the site. These experiences are moments of intimacy within the gorge which also act as a place of refuge during hot or rainy days within the larger context of Birrarung Marr.
*This design proposal won the Robert van de Graaff Technology Award 2016, RMIT University.
