Filamental: a type specimen

This project looked at redesigning a city block on the corner of Manners St,Victoria St, and Lombard St in Te aro and turning it into an epicentre for carbon sequestration. The idea ofreintroducing large amounts of vegetation back into urban environments  was also used in the design processhence the name ‘Overgrowth.’ With the outcome being a new corner city block that recycles carbon at a high ratewhile also creating a new micro climate in an urban environment where for once it feels like a living, thriving,and rich environment.

Overgrowth

In an attempt to resolve Petone’s climate change and infrastructural issues, this project investigated how climate mitigation strategies can be used to increase biodiversity and food cultivation within urban environments. Petone is currently facing significant pressures from its infrastructural layout and systems which are causing substantial traffic congestion, flooding problems, and inequitable access to services and resources. These issues cannot be resolved without considerable transformation, and with the increasing challenges of climate change, Petone must utilise arising opportunities to plan ahead to mitigate these obstacles.  

Some important issues that were discovered in this research process was the vulnerability of the city to flooding/sea level rise, the lack of green space and biodiverse habitats, the absence of cycling and pedestrian lanes, and the unequal access to amenities within Petone. This project attempt to address these issues through strategic interventions and technologies.
