A proposal for South Melbourne that turns the area into a living museum: one you move through every day, not one you visit once. Instead of placing history in a single building, the project spreads everyday cultural spaces across streets, bridges, and leftover sites to support local life, work, and community.
book one
this part looks at South Melbourne as it is today. It documents existing buildings, streets, and overlooked spaces frommunder bridges, along service lanes, and around old industrial sites. This was done to understand how people already use the area and where new public life could grow.
book two
next part shows the design response. It proposes a series of connected places for food, learning, making, housing, and public gathering, carefully placed within South Melbourne’s existing fabric to strengthen daily life, local economies, and shared spaces.
