Environmental Friendly
Materials
Timber
Dirt Minerals
Rice
Solar panel
Useful
Long Lasting
Materials
Plastic
Steel
Innovative
Problem?
Declining Infrastructure
Causes economic deficit
Brings low standards of living
Improvements?
Urban Congestion
Reserving lanes for buses, transporting more people than cars
Pedestrianisation, which turns lanes into footpaths to increase walkability
Turning car lanes into bike lanes, ideally separated from other traffic
Reducing traffic capacity to build more green space and community infrastructure
Rising Pollution
Use greener, alternative fuel sources
Utilise recyclable practices towards materials that are commonly disregarded
Use sustainable sources already made available
Declining Infrastructure
Make buildings taller
Use shapes that increase room but is efficient space
Hexagon
Adequate Housing Shortage
Homelessness
Slums and squatter settlements
Environmental pollution
Low level of health due to poor living conditions
Environmental pollution
Vulnerability to diseases
Urban Congestion
Increased air pollution
Increased carbon dioxide levels
Social/psychological impacts
Increased anxiety
Stress
Road rage
Rising Pollution
Greenhouse gas pollution
Ocean acidification
Sea level rise
Increased storm surge
Harm to agriculture and forests
Species extinctions
Ecosystem damage
Design Criteria
Improve the quality of life for individuals inhabiting in Australian settlements.
Identify and acknowledge disaster risk reductions, that can possibly hinder encountering situations where sustainability is being threatened.
Adapt and redesign existing sustainable building strategies that can effectively combat the pressures of urban expansion.
Recycle local materials already made available such as timber, plastic, etc. To reduce the cost of overseas manufacturing and the harm inflicted upon the environment.

Redesign Opportunities
Green Building
Twist building shape to create an interesting design dynamic.
Architecture Made of Reclaimed Materials
Add coloured plastic onto canopy to create a mural inspired roof
Shipping Containers Housing
Stack shipping containers on top to reduces space need on land.
3D Printed House
Substitute dirt and rice material with recyclable plastic instead, to reuse waste polluted on land.
Electric Scooter
Substitute electric scooter and create an electric bicycle instead
Honeycomb-shaped residential complex
Reuse hexagon shape to create interesting infrastructure with different dimensions to adapt from design
