Located in the multicultural, high-density suburb of Auburn, Sydney, the Auburn Central Recreational Park and its research explores the public domain and social interactions as a basic needs. The project criticises the contemporary trend in urban developement practice where the built environment is prioritised over social life, leaving little to no opportunities for connections in the open public space. Identifying "play" as an instrument, and via research into the current literature, the project is an avant-garde interpretation of play, sport, and leisure space, bringing people together via common activities, painting a panorama of "life between buildings."
