Hyper-Link Community

My concept is focusing on a strong connection with buildings layered community,so the community will no longer rely on streets as traffic, but also more in three-diamentianl, forming self-linked, self-updating, self constructable, and self- sustainable community.

Access and boundaries have always been topics of analysis when it comes to the community form within Melbourne. It is not difficult to see that residential dwellings in Melbourne are predominantly distributed along street frontages, focusing on the spaces in between. This forms relationships between linear and vertical traffic. These thresholds resemble the starting point of shared spaces, connecting vertically and horizontally by using light perforations and walkways.

The Strategies are paying attention to linear form of housing arrangement forms and different levels of semi- Collective access and shared space. Then, hanging walkways and galleries are applied to connect from small same shared space to bigger commune system such as garden. Finally, the relationships between small groups and large groups should be layered . Additionally, Voids are formed to maintain the optical and acoustic as well as visual Permeability of each floor.

In general, the formation of communities is a process rather than a result. They always have different stories and connections at different times which is always full of exploration, form a new social web
