Leatus Reserve

Year: 2021 Proposal Type: Community Infrastructure Location: West Melton Reserve, VIC, 3337

Laetus Reserve is a biomorphic design proposal that delves extensively in Melbournian children’s environments and portray various factors generating obesity habits in exposure to urbanist influences, lack of amenities, and sedentary behavior. Set up in an urban sprawl, dull, and dystopian setting which is the Melton West Reserve, Laetus Reserve aims to incorporate biomorphic architecture as a new form of methodology to generate an urban playscape. The proposal proposes a direct human skin analogy, a transient symbiotic structure of fat cells that are scattered around on the site; forming a range of activity zone and programs that educate children about their health, encourage movement-based activity; constructing a stronger community network. This change will not only invoke and echo societal progression, generating long term health intervention, but also taking its integration and incorporation into the education sector that generates a generation of healthy individuals that are healthy and in control of their lifestyle.
