COLLINGWOOD
In a rendition called Suburb Series, architects Lauren O’Donnell & Adam Dwyer from ODD Studio, draw Melbourne suburbs, viewed from above.
Each drawing is a static image, deep in information about, planning, history, geography, construction, solar and time. Pieced together from a blend of archived maps and aerial photographs, the drawings embed a personal emotion, felt with the rich belonging to a connection of place.
Collingwood, a vibrant inner-city suburb of Melbourne, boasts a rich and storied history. The narrative is deeply intertwined with Smith Street, a bustling thoroughfare that forms the heart and soul of the neighbourhood.
Running through the core of Collingwood, Smith Street has a history as colourful as the suburb itself. Once a dirt track, Smith Street has evolved into an urban hub renowned for its arts scene, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.
Our rendition captures Smith Street from above and its intricate network of surrounding arterials and side streets.
Drawn on the date of the autumnal equinox, the piece captures the sun directly over the equator, marking the beginning of the fall when the sun is at its lowest point and the time when the spectacle of shadow is most present across the city. The render reveals this active relationship of ‘Shadow’ and ‘Light’ in Melbourne's public spaces, arterial streets, and residences.
As the city’s urban settlement is evolving, Collingwood provides a memory of which shadows are cast from the year 2022.
