VICTORIA PARK PEOPLE’S HUB
architectural design
Design a new Creative Industries Academy at Victoria Park as
part of a new master plan of the precinct, including a cinema,
retail and dining hub, indoor sports centre and market place.
The spatial configuration of the academy is designed
to promote interaction and social engagement. Vertical
circulation via the feature staircase gives students the
opportunity for chance encounters and many social spaces
where they can ‘vent’ or find solace. All learning areas are
flexible, allowing them to adapt as the technology that leads
design evolves.

RE-IMAGINING IPSWICH
site analysis and urban design
Through extensive site analysis, understanding future
environmental, economic and political scenarios,
develop a vision for the future of Ipswich. This vision
will be achieved through a catalyst development.
Revitalising the city through an engagement with its
existing identity resulted in an urban framework that
promoted pride and street activation. The reinstatement
of the historical tram line, a new brewery and sports
stadium and a network of university and research
buildings, sees the city of Ipswich transformed into a
university campus that is true to it’s original identity,
but can face a resilient future.

AS IPSWICH GROWS AND DEVELOPS, WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY REMAINS TRUE TO ITS OWN IDENTITY AND PAST. WE SHOULDN’T PICK
AND CHOOSE THE HISTORY WE KEEP, ENCOURAGING RAPID GROWTH AND CREATING AN AREA UNFAMILIAR AND FOREIGN TO THE VERY PEOPLE THAT
INHABIT IT EVERY DAY. CARE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO RETAIN AND REVITALISE AS MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL CITY AS POSSIBLE, WHILE MOVING THE
CITY TOWARDS ITS EXCITING NEW FUTURE.
THE ARCHITECTURAL METHODOLOGY IS TO INHABIT AN ALREADY EXISTING BUILDING, PREFERABLY ONE WITHOUT ARCHITECTURAL MERIT. BY
TAKING SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE MAY HAVE ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED WORTH DEMOLISHING FOR PURELY AESTHETIC REASONS, THE INSTITUTE
RAISES AWARENESS OF THE UNECESSARY WASTE THIS MENTALITY CAUSES, AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN BE FOUND IN NON-TRADITIONAL
APPROACHES TO RETROFITTING. THIS IS AN OVERARCHING MODEL FOR THE ENTIRETY OF IPSWICH. BY RETAINING AS MUCH OF THE CITY AS POSSIBLE,
BUT IMPROVING THE VISUAL AND AMENITY QUALITY, THE CITY CAN MAINTAIN ITS ORIGINAL CHARACTER, EVOLVING AND ADAPTING TO A FUTURE
THAT WILL ORGANICALLY FLOW FROM THE IPSWICH INSTITUTE FOR RESILIENT FUTURES.
BUILD IPSWICH UP, DON’T TEAR IT DOWN

Establishing on research done in the previous mapping

establishing Ipswich as a destination and economic

Retrofitting an existing office building in a strategic

activation. Building is to be converted into a university/

the city into a campus and creating street activation
