Subject Coordinator: Dr. Amanda Achmadi

Studio Gamma explores the relationship between the dynamics of dwelling and urban landscape, between cohabitation, density, and integration of systems in an urban setting. We explore and speculate on the “missing middle” of Melbourne by proposing strategies of incremental densification and intensification of an urban neighbourhood with a strong heritage characteristic. This was approached by interrogating the existing urban morphology, civic and ecological system and forming landscape and architectural responses to them.

The MacArthur Place precinct in Carlton is the urban site of the studio. Students work on three neighbouring house plots and their associated backyards, laneways access routes, adjacent greenways and other interstitial spaces. Integration of landscape and architecture are explored at the scale of the urban precinct, neighbourhood, and through inside-outside spaces of the dwelling unit.
