Anomie: a type specimen

Located in Central Wellington on Wakefield Street this project looked at my perspective of a climate adaptive street. My concept was something that gives back to both the people and the land. This is why I focused on a hydrological system that fed on an urban farm connecting the street framework to the urban park I created from a condemned building site.

Te whakahoki ki te whenua

Every year, New Zealanders throw away 800 million plastic containers that could have been recycled. Additionally, Aotearoa has 67 different recycling schemes and rules that is region dependent, causing confusion and unaccountability of our incorrect recycling practices. The Complete Rubbish aims to help New Zealanders learn and practice correct recycling habits to their region in an easy and engaging way.

Complete Rubbish the Recycling Application

This project explore affects and ecologies in the urban realm. It asks how people use non-prescriptive urban spaces for actives that aren’t always provided for in cities. It proposes replacing a car parking lot with a flexible open space that provides an orientation point for an emerging urban neighbourhood. The intention is to keep and enhance (rather than displace) the aspects of the carpark that makes it an adaptable and valuable urban space. It supports the evolution of a unique community identity based on how locals use and socialise in the public space.
