Sites of Connection: Pivot & Hinge
Design exploration
Collingwood Yards, Melbourne
2024
An experimental study into pivot, hinge, scaffold and attachment, developed through collage, drawing and model-making. Using cardboard, bamboo, and wire, the work explored structures capable of supporting gathering, conversation and communal occupation. The yarning circle emerged as a possible spatial framework — a place for events shaped by and for the community.
