"Porous Ecologies" is an urban planning project developed during an exchange semester at Monash University, focusing on the redevelopment of Fisherman's Bend, a notable industrial area in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. This project is grounded in the practical application of a range of advanced tools including Python, Grasshopper, QGIS, and ESRI CityEngine. These tools were instrumental in crafting detailed infrastructural plans and concepts across key domains such as water management, mobility, logistics, and waste.

​

The project leverages both historical and modern urban planning ideologies to propose realistic development scenarios for Fisherman's Bend. Its approach is technical and data-driven, using the capabilities of the aforementioned software to analyze and visualize potential changes. The aim is to transform the area's infrastructure in a way that respects its industrial heritage while making it more efficient and suited to contemporary urban needs.

​

The project offers a glimpse into the potential of using generative and emergant approaches for the urban scale, while emphasizing the need for a well-integrated and sustainable approach to modern city planning.
