Abstract
|
‘Hold On’ presents a solution to Oxley’s post-disaster flood setting with particular emphasis on design processes which will promote sustainable, resilient development. A whole network of projects are proposed, ranging from schools to improving education, housing options, community-oriented buildings, in an attempt to restructure the area in a way which will promote Oxley as its own self-sufficient node. These proposed designs include an Eco-Centre, Community Centre, and Skills Centre among others, while post-disaster efforts are coordinated through a central ‘Hold On’ Centre. Key to Hold On’s settlement strategy is the freedom to select relocation or reintegration. Housing options have been proposed which will give Oxley’s residents several options for settlement, be it staying on their own property in a more flood-resilient building or moving out of flooded land into alternative forms of housing.
