#necropolisnow

3/3 Site visit for MUIR + OPENWORK RMIT Master’s Studio “Necropolis Now (or How The Dead Live)”. The studio speculates on how the uncanny and charged condition of an existing brick quarry might sponsor a new civic landscape via the Necropolis, around which a future suburb can be formed. The studio was offered to both Architecture and Landscape Architecture students and is part of ongoing collaborative research between Muir Architecture + Openwork. . We thank @brickworksbp for their enormous generosity in providing access to the Wollert Quarry and brick production facility. 📷: @_amymuir . . . . @rmitarchitecture @rmit_la @muirarchitecture @_openwork @vpa_vic #howthedeadlive #necropolisnow #bricks #thinkbrick #architecture #landscapearchitecture #landscape #urbandesign #urbanism (at Wollert, Victoria)

3/3 Unsolicited research by @_openwork and @muirarchitecture into setting aside part of the 133 Ha Ravenhall Quarry / Landfill site as future public open space for the planned Mt Atkinson precinct. Existing quarry forms are retained and made public by offsetting landfill revenue against a new necropolis, open space and phytoremediation forest. . . . #architecture #urbandesign #landscape #urbanism #melbourne #cemetery #research #necropolisnow #thegreatermetropolitancemeteriestrust #O_MA #landscapearchitecture @vpa_vic @stocklandmtatkinson @cityofmeltonofficial @boralaustralia (at Ravenhall, Victoria)
