Sustainability

Through designing an infrastructure system that operates in an infinite cycle, the infrastructure becomes highly sustainable. Connecting that system to existing infrastructure, and integrating it into the existing networks of the neighbourhood, makes the system more viable, and intelligent, in its initialisation and operation.


An exploration of Transient Infrastructure revealed the transience of seasons. Seasonal change brings with it the loss of leaves from deciduous vegetation. These leaves are then blown around by strong winds, and lay scattered around the city/neighbourhood. 

If these leaves were collected and processed, they could form biodegradable material with potential. If this biodegradable material was used to create art in public parks, it would create an interest and encourage engagement with parks. As time passes, the art would biodegrade into the park, providing nutrients back to the park.

The results reinforce the transience of the infrastructure, through engagement with transient people in the parks and the transient nature of the material.
