"SUBURB" by Aremel Tibayan
The drawing displays a design proposal located in a suburb in Victoria, Australia. As one roams through this suburb, they may notice the separation of homes created by barriers such as the wide streets and fences. These barriers encourage a sense of security and privacy for residents, however the opportunity for social connection disappears. In most cases, one may not know their neighbour despite living in the same area for a long time. Therefore, the drawing envisions a new way of living in this suburb. In between the homes is a community garden for growing food. Division of home lots are removed and, each home is organised closer for neighbours to interact more. Instead of homes placed in a logical order, they grow naturally across the landscape. Altogether, suburban living, through the design of the built form, must allow for human cooperation and reliance to exists for a sustainable future.
