"Underground City" is my exploration of the future urban form - when the surface is no longer suitable for human habitation, the underground becomes the new living layer. I take "play" as the core concept. Through rotating slides, climbing walls and connecting platforms, people can regain the experience of interaction and freedom in enclosed spaces. The water circulation system symbolizes the continuation of ecology and also reflects the sustainable life cycle. This project expresses my thoughts on future life: even if we are underground, humans can still rebuild connections and hope through creation and sharing.
In the spirit of reconciliation Monash University acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
