Enterprize Park & Turning Basin, North Bank, Melbourne CBD

Kiai-chitecture is an effort to reactivate a historical site and make it Melbourne’s new “Youth Precinct”. The project combines architecture and landscape to formulate topography of events and programs of which are determined by the users. The topographical built form allows the city and the river to become intrinsically connected. This site is surrounded by a viaduct with heavy traffic, where noises is problematic and provision for pedestrian crossing is an issue.

Kiai-chitecture is an attempt to create a pedestrian viaduct, giving priority to pedestrian rather than vehicles. The project is an attempt to resolve the site’s problematic conditions and draws the concept from Japanese idea of “Do” or “the way”. The project results in a “bridge” which connects “otherness”
