BARPAK, NEPAL I LANDSCAPE MASTERCLASS I DEAKIN UNIVERSITY EARTHQUAKE MEMORIALDevelopment: Shrine of Rememberance Nepalese Stupa 14 fragments/ 14 affected districts Background Situated on the fault line between Eurasian and Indian plates, earthquakes in Nepal are inevitable and occour in intervals of 60-80 years. The proposed Earthquake memorial park is situated at Barpak village near the Epicentre of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Design Intent The idea of proposed design is to create experience of the geographical land- scape and challanges associated, creating a journey walking through the ele- vating slopy landscape of the site leading to a viewpoint of the Epicentre which shows a physical scar of the earthquake and the scale of destruction. EARTHQUAKE MEMORIAL REMEMBE RANCE EXPERIENCE REALIZATION The memorial journey is divided into three themes; Remember, Experience and Realize. The shrine is a deconstructed form of stupa with its pinnacle fallen at the bottom. It is a place to comemorate and mourn the losses and to pray for the victims. The Axis (A2) leads from starting point (Visitor centre) to the forest of rememberance which opens up to the deep valley opposite to the site, an experience to witness the landscape and geographical challenges of Nepal. SECTION THROUGH (A2) AXIS TO THE VALLEY MASTERPLAN The Shrine of Rememberance Cairns are built in rememberance of dead ones in Nepalese culture. Cairns as tribute to victims Tree top walk amongst Trees from 14 earthquake affected districts. Healing through nature. The Forest of Remember- JOURNEY THROUGH THE MEMORIAL The Memorial journey starts at the Visitor centre where the visitiors will be provided brief about the journey. The journey begins from Shrine of Rememberance and concludes at the Point of Realization which has clear view of the massive landslides at the Epicentre. The memorial design is guided by two main axes; (A1)Axis to epicentre (A2) Axis to the valley. (A1) (A2) N 1 Deconstruction / Earthquake
Design Intention The purpose of design is to retain and re-establish the history and significance of Point henry by conserving the rare, adaptive flora, fauna and wetlands of the site, retaining the insustrial remains of historic significance and by adapting and implementing new functions and attractions to the post-industrial site. 2 POINT HENRY, GEELONG I M.L.A I DEAKIN UNIVERSITY THE MANUFACTURED MOUNTAINS Background Point henry, the former ALCOA aluminium smelter site is a valuable industrial heritage and has a splendid historical significance to Geelong. The port at point henry served as a gateway to Geelong during the historic gold rush , Point henry has served as transport dock, tea gardens, public gardens and later ALCOA which shutdown in 2007. The postindustrial site has rich cultural and historic layers, endangered flora and fauna, wetlands. Its location, history, geography and openings might be exceptionally valuable for Geelong community. CONSERVE + PRESERVE + ADAPT METAMORPHOSIS The metamorphosis of the postindustrial site develops Point henry as a new Nature reserve with industrial park and The Man made Mountains of Point henry will give a new identity and attraction to Geelong community as no mountains or nature reserve are located as close.

The selected plants are drought tolerant (Succulents, Lavender, foxtail plant) Bottle brush trees on the south provides wind protection Jelly plant and gravel to be used as ground cover to provide desert looks.
