What started as a study of Sydney's energy usage ended up in a proposal for a prototype vertical city, flipping Sydney's sprawling suburbia up, 3km into the sky.
The Urban Islands studio was conducted to rethink the usage of abandoned pre-war islands in its recreational harbour. This intervention was meant to stir discussion on the city's green policies as the country struggles to address its housing affordability crisis.
As a result, the project publicised in popular forms (postcars, posters, youtube) to generate some form of opinion. The idea was to capture some attention, good or bad. "Bad advertising is better than no advertising at all." This was hoped to stir discussion among Sydneysiders on the city's future.
