Tasked with transforming a significant waterfront on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nation (Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) and Boonwurrung people), students must explore restorative biodiversity design and circularity to transition from linear, extractive models to bio-design futures that rebalance human-nature relations.

The winners of the Design the World You Want International Student Ideas Competition are announced at this exhibition. The exhibition showcases shortlisted designs from landscape architecture students around the globe that reimagine Melbourne’s Victoria Harbour.

The site is located on the traditional lands and waterways of the Kulin Nation, specifically the Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) and Boonwurrung peoples.

The shortlisted projects respond to themes of design futures and circularity, exploring design as a restorative force that supports biodiversity, communities and resource renewal.
