"Orchard Jenga - Start of the night shift" by Duy Phan 

To cope with urban heat island effect and lacking trees canopy coverage in cities cramped context, on top of the existing two-level car park, Orchard Jenga proposed to plant not only trees but eatable vegetations vertically which casts healthy shadow for open public space underneath and produce organic fresh foods for the nearby Queen Victoria Market by applying the technology from the adjacent University of Melbourne research centre. Covered by the transparent water tank, the unique facade allows semi visual connection from in and out by caustically reflecting and refracting the light when it passes through. The image is the moment of a night shift begins to start. When those very last sun rays pour on the side facade while internally the aquaponic lights bright up. It is not intentionally blending itself with the context but proudly being vivid, stating the message of the city’s sustainable future.
