Mid semester presentation for Melbourne General Cemetery: "Avenues of Evocation" As part of Design Studio 3: Speculations @ the University of Melbourne - Through the strategic removal of hard impermeable surfaces, Melbourne General Cemetery is to reveal new avenues of movement throughout the landscape. As a strategy for evocation of its visitors, these new pathways are to dynamically guide foot traffic across typography, foliage and new permeable surfaces. Furthermore, the removal of hard materials in favour of light-coloured surfaces will aid efforts to minimise the heat island effect present within the cemetery during hot months of the year; reflecting the sun’s rays. This sensitive approach to new topographical, material and vegetation changes across existing roads may inform a heightened sense of belonging for visitors. Additionally, individuals and collectives of lost loved ones may find peace and comfort within these meandering pathways for new shared evocations. @msdsocial
