PARAMETRICALLY ALTERING A LANDSCAPE WAS AN IDEA THAT CAME TO US AFTER OUR INITIAL DESIGN APPEARED TO BE ATYPICAL OF PARAMETRIC DESIGN.

PARAMETRIC WATERSHED LANDSCAPE, NYC WERRIBEE WETLANDS SALT MARSH ENVIRONMENT
ACCORDING TO PARKS VICTORIA, THE WERRIBEE WETLANDS IS PARTIALLY COMPRISED OF COSTAL SALT MARSH. THIS HAS LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE PARTICULARLY TO WYNDHAM AS IT IS LOCATED IN GRAHAM’S WETLAND RESERVE WHICH IS MANAGED BY THE WYNDHAM CITY COUNCIL. COASTAL SALT MARSH ENVIRONMENTS ARE DYNAMIC ECOSYSTEMS THAT HAVE REGULARLY CHANGING WATER LEVELS. AS A GENERAL RULE, TIDAL SALT MARSH WILL EXPERIENCE DAILY LOW TIDE, MEAN LOW TIDE, HIGH TIDE AND VERY HIGH TIDE. THE GATEWAY PROPOSAL DRAWS ON THIS NATURAL WATER LEVEL CHANGE TO CREATE A DYNAMIC AND EVER-CHANGING GATEWAY. THE VORONOI PATTERN IS BASED LOOSELY ON THE NATURAL FORMATION OF SALT MARSH SYSTEMS.
WYNDHAM IS A CITY THAT IS GROWING RAPIDLY. AN INNOVATIVE GATEWAY DESIGN WILL SEEK TO IMPROVE THE CITY’S IMAGE, AESTHETICALLY AND TO PUT WYNDHAM ON THE MAP AS A CITY OF SIGNIFICANCE. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY AND THUS THE DESIGN PROCESS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. OUR PROPOSAL, SITUATED ON SITE B, HAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE CONTEXT OF THE SITE, FROM THE NEARBY WESTERN SEWERAGE TREATMENT PLANT TO THE EXISTING ENVIRONMENT OF THE SITE. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PROPOSAL WILL CREATE THE DESIRED IMAGE FOR WYNDHAM, NOW AND IN THE MANY YEARS TO COME.

THE EXTENSIVE WERRIBEE WETLANDS, LOCATED TO THE WEST OF WYNDHAM, WERE THE BASIS OF OUR DEVELOPMENT OF THE GATEWAY PROPOSAL. HOME TO THE WESTERN [SEWERAGE] TREATMENT PLANT, THE WETLANDS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE IDENTITY OF WESTERN MELBOURNE AND GREATER VICTORIA. THE WETLANDS NOW HOST MANY DIFFERENT ECOSYSTEMS AND BIRD HABITATS, THANKS TO THE RICH SEWERAGE SEDIMENTS ONSITE.
