TECHNO TRASH.ED
The purpose of this project is to analyse and critique the rise of ‘mass produced’ cities; in essence, the rise of aesthetically homogeneous cities influenced by the Industrial and Informational revolutions.
Goat Island has been used in this project as a platform to explore this critique; positioning itself against the current Conservation Management Plan (CMP) and its aims to preserve and control specific architectural elements of the site. In the same vein, the CMP is structured as a homogenised approach to revitalise sites thereby inhibiting the potential of architectural evolution on Goat Island.
This shift in perspective instead focuses on a reimagination of Goat Island in a 21st century context through reconceptualising selected heritage listed buildings on site. Through the subversion of its colonial history and borrowing from non-specific classical forms and details, a unique and specific narrative of Goat Island unfolds and TECHNO TRASH.ED emerges.
