Re-City: knowing and re-imagining Melbourne from the ground up
Curated by Louise Wright, Catherine Murphy and Thomas Heath
Presented by Monash Urban Lab
ReCity is a work in progress that takes you on a virtual journey across metropolitan Melbourne via a digital map that includes layers of information, the juxtaposition of which prompt new ways of thinking about and acting on the city. This evolving map features multi-scalar, spatial data such as Melbourne’s geology, vegetation, waterways, cultural heritage, built form and regulatory frameworks, along with archival material. This abutting of diverse knowledges reveals areas of contestation between built and natural systems, that require a re-imagining and re-making of our city.
Louise Wright is Practice Professor in the Department of Architecture, Monash Art, Design and Architecture.
Catherine Murphy is Senior Lecturer, Department of Architecture, Monash Art, Design and Architecture.
Thomas Heath is a recent architecture graduate, Department of Architecture, Monash Art, Design and Architecture.
This event is part of the Festival of Urbanism – a series of talks and conversations on planning and making our cities and regions. Brought to you by the Henry Halloran Trust with the assistance of the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, in partnership with Urban Planning and Design at Monash Art, Design and Architecture.
