Rewired Typologies

Rapid urbanisation in areas of dense migration necessitates innovative Architectural Interventions to address widespread food insecurity resulting from globally strained food import chains. Multicultural areas like Auburn in Sydney are particularly important to consider in this context. By utilising the Architectural process of adaptive reuse, the typology of a building is leveraged to establish integrated forms and functions that serve a community, rather than adhering to its intended proprietary use. The concept of ‘Rewired Typologies’ aims to focus on this approach, repurposing a former high-energy data centre into a facility for urban micro-farming. Through a carefully considered design language and distinctive typology, the proposal aims to support and enhance the broader community of its context.
