CONTENTS
URBAN SPINELARISSA CARPENTER, NATALIE ADAMOU, NIXON NG, TINA HEERS The project was designed as a response to the Gosford City Council Master Plan with the main focus of encouraging Gosford to become a social, aesthetical and enjoyable place for people to live, work and relax. Based on an existing Master Plan offered by Gosford City Council, a project has been developed to upgrade certain sections of the city. The primary focus, as stated in the brief of the Master Plan, is to convert Gosford into a social, highly aesthetic and enjoyable place for people to live, work and relax. The development of the areas surrounding this will feed into creating a strong sense of community along the “spine” of Mann Street and help to increase population, residential dwellings, jobs and educational facilities.
Issues: Gosford has, in recent times, become a city that is bypassed by travellers whom are visiting the region, or simply passing through. This means that most often, potential tourists do not view Gosford as an attractive destination. This has great impact on the economy of Gosford, since naturally, lack of tourism forfeits tourism-generated revenue. The opening of Erina Fair, a large multi storey shopping centre with big brand stores, has also greatly impacted the current development state of Gosford City. This is due to the fact that the guarantee of product availability and accessibility provided by Erina Fair is now forcing the closure of many small businesses within Gosford. As a resultant of this effect, the region is now noticing a significant drop in the percentage of 20-30 year old people in the area, whom are normally employed by these businesses. Correspondingly, the fraction percentage of the ageing population is steadily rising, as more and more younger citizens migrate elsewhere in search of greater opportunity. This effect completes the downward trending cycle, which is further degrading Gosford’s image.
Objectives:In re-developing Gosford we are hoping to achieve a sense of place in Gosford, a place where people associate it with a relaxed and enjoyable attitude while remaining pleasurable to live in; with a heart of culture, education and entertainment.
Strategies:In order to meet our objectives, careful consideration has been taken to develop Gosford without losing its links to its history. Through renewing Mann Street and encouraging more office space and opportunity for retail and commercial businesses, this will help boost the economy. With expected increase in job opportunities, we have also considered an increase in residential dwellings, catering for an additional 10 000 new residents. This sees an increase of 4000 dwellings, which is an average of 2.5 people per dwelling. In order to encourage people to see that Gosford is a beautiful place to live and work, we have increased and included a number of arts, entertainment and social community spaces, which give a sense of space throughout Mann Street; especially at the Northern and Southern ends of the site. The development of a University campus, that will cater for 15000 students and 7000 staff, will help to encourage a younger generation of people to live, work and socialise within Gosford, bringing back a more youthful and exciting feeling into the area.

LARISSA CARPENTER, NATALIE ADAMOU, NIXON NG, TINA HEERS The big moves throughout the design will be the development of a boardwalk along the waterfront. This will encourage people to use the space and utilise the waterfront for passive activities. The development of the residential areas will see the increase of 4000 dwellings in high, medium and low-density housing. This will create a larger number of people in the Gosford city centre and will help to build the economy. The development of the office district will encourage another 6000 jobs into the area offering new businesses and space for existing businesses to expand. Right in the centre of the Central Business District this area will bustle with people during the day and at night will entertain them at a number of cafés, bars and restaurants. Heading towards the northern end there are a range of spaces to utilize as people see fit as either performance spaces, passive recreational spaces etc. There are many different uses for the University campus, it is encouraged to me a universal space in some areas as it is situated opposite the cultural precinct. Together as a whole, Gosford will come together as a community once more and will thrive with people.

UNIVERSITY & ARTSLARISSA CARPENTER, NATALIE ADAMOU, NIXON NG, TINA HEERS The main ideas for this area are firstly to create an open and friendly train station. The first impression visitors will have, especially if they are coming by public transport, will be the train station. By opening up the façade of the building and creating a more pleasant atmosphere for visitors. The development of the buildings along Mann Street will not only be retail but will be Shop Top Residential. This is encouraging people to live right in the heart of the Central Business District which will lead to a boost in economy, a drop in the need for cars and a more shared zone style of Mann Street. This area of Mann Street also incorporates office blocks, restaurants, cafés, and bars, which in return will deliver an atmosphere bustling with work during the day and humming with the sounds of conversations over dinner and drinks. The open urban spaces along Mann Street are encouraged as spaces to be used on weekends as a market place and entertainment areas. With public performance spaces this will encourage people of all walks of life to feel like they have a place where they can express themselves and be creative.

Gosford City Centre: The Gosford Challenge Revisited
LARISSA CARPENTER, NATALIE ADAMOU, NIXON NG, TINA HEERS As a solution to encourage a greater population movement through this area we have proposed the development of a University, a cultural space and open urban spac-es. With 15,000 students and 7,000 staff this university campus is not only encourag-ing more jobs to help the economy but also encouraging people to move through to the northern end of Mann Street. With 15, 000 students this is an excellent way to introduce a younger generation of people into Gosford and will help boost the economy as the stu-dents will bring more business to the local retail and commercial stores. The cultural and arts precinct spaces are developed to create a multi use space for people of all ages. The main building of the arts precinct uses some of the existing buildings in a very unique way. By re-working the existing into some new elements, this area creates a space with a very vibrant and exciting atmosphere. This area is designed for social events such as, local weekend markets, performances both musical and lyrical based, school recitals and even theatre and dance performances. This cultural area is equipped to be utilised at night with outdoor entertainment in the warmer months of the year and to create a vivid and interesting area helping to link in with the University campus. The open urban spaces are located within both the University campus and the cultural space encouraging peo-ple the take some time to sit and relax, whether it is university students having lunch be-tween classes or business men and women wanting to take a relaxing break on their way home from work.

"The minister for the Central Coast, Chris Hartcher has welcomed the signing of a Memorandum of the Understanding to bring a new University of Newcastle presence to the Gosford CBD"
The project is to design a new city university campus that would sit amongst the existing urban fabric of the Gosford CBD whilst embracing the landscape character of the site
The design principles that tie the concept together consist of "Connectivity", "Enhancing" the landscape character of the site, having a consistant "Program" of spaces and built form making it easy to circulate around the site and "Spatial Character".
The concept continues on from the initial masterplan of Gosford City completed in semester one. The masterplan took on that of an Urban Spine to connect the city. To focus more on the landscape character of the university the concept of the Green Spine helpes connect the university building and spaces of the campus.
Through site analysis and investigation a theoretical framework was applied to the design to distinguish the layout of the campus. The theory was based on Clare Cooper Marcus' "Campus Outdoor Spaces" and looking how to re-establish this framework through a modern city campus rather than a traditional university campus.
The Green Spine connects the university through a variety of different landscapes including a front lawn, library green space, community gardens, graduation lawn, rooftop gardens and tranquility gardens. A number of boulevards are also lined with native trees and vegetation.
The rich topography of the site allows for water collection through the site with the placement of permeable paving throughout the campus, rain gardens to capture stormwater, miniature pools and rooftop gardens.

This project focused on rebuilding and recreating the area of Christchurch known as the Red Zone Corridor. The zone was affected by the 2011 earthquakes and had been labelled not feasable to build on, therefore the aim of this project was to design a green corridor throughout the area for the Christchurch community which links to the masterplan put forward by the government.
The masterplan has displayed a new residential development to the east of the site as well as a new sporting stadium. A new CBD area has also been designed to the west of the site which determines the eastern frome to act as a basis for a thouroughfare between the new proposals of the city.

The Concept for the Eastern Frame Project was generated by the use of metaphors of the earthquake. Through a number of words that described the earthquake, six words were chosen and experimented through paper to generate a form for these words.
Through these experiments each word had a different shape and form, and these metaphors were a basis for shaping the land through the Eastern Frame.
The aim was to use what destructed the land and turn it in to something that would reshape the land.

A wetlands is formed at the base of the frame which has collected water runoff from the Avon River and roads surrounding the frame.
This area has multiple seating facilities from natural hill slopes to benches and timber seating around the wetlands for the public to enjoy the natural surroundings.
