Curbside Chronicles

"To achieve net-zero emissions by 2035, we must embrace re-use as an essential strategy. This project challenges traditional, profit-focused production models through queer theory to offer alternative modes of production. By embracing the camp, architecture moves beyond moralism to evoke a vibrant politics of visibility, humor, and spectacle. The bold forms and use of reclaimed materials aim to diametrically oppose the Homeco shopping mall adjacent, weaving re-use cultures and environmental stewardship while doubling as a permanent Recovery Hub for those affected by flood along Dyarubbin. It houses production-focused, not-for-profit programs with drop-offs, workshops, exhibitions, and spaces for native gardening - granting individuals the agency to make meaningful changes outside typical organizational structures."
