Tom Morgan. R.M.I.T. 5th Year Student
Tom Morgan has envisioned a future, fractured and splintered, devastation threatening the human race. A future where some rose up above the doom and darkness, creating micro farms, market gardens, parklands and community space. New growth and renewed life. New lateral movement (quiet) turbines creating power across our city, and the sewers being revived into renewable water stored in the vacant car parks. Bicycles, horses, gardens, farms and tramcars, a new and powerful skyline creating power and renewed water. Melbourne in the year 2020 is a sight to behold.

SECOND PLACE - URBAN HOMESTEAD ACT of 2009

In roofs, walls, beneath buildings, between buildings- Where there is nothing, everything is possible. Ian Robertson explores the invitation to invent new space. Discovering space among the urban muddle – the space we don’t know we need.
THIRD PLACE - SKYLANES 2020
