1. subdivisionMichael Hubbard
Eastlink runs through existing agri-cultural farmland. A new industrial estate springs up, effi ciency in con-struction means farmland becomes industry in a short period of time. Nature and history still have their parts to play, dictating the layout of lots and location of roads. Prime factory real estate creeps towards a newly created residential estate. Soon they will meet. An ease-ment buffer has been created at the interface.
What happens when they intersect?

Existing Carrum Downs Industrial Estate
Existing Carrum Downs Housing Estate
Small factory lots with attached show-rooms replace larger scale factories. Factories are not just used for produc-tion but as offi ces and showrooms. Gated fences secure each lot. Manu-facturers, Wholesalers, Distributers and Accountants share the footpaths, lakes and bbq areas. Vegetation softens the concrete panels.
House facades open to the street, Fences only exist between side boundaries. Shrubs are beginning to grow. Cars dominate front yards.Kids hide behind curtains.
Carrum Downs Alternate Estate Proposal
Subdivision Easements
Can factories and houses coexist on the same street?A factory lot: - Front facade, - Street setback, - Tree height, - Open Areais 1.5 times the size of a housing lot.Lightpoles, cars, driveways and people are constant.A factory operates from 7am-4pm.A house operates 6-9am, 5-10pm.Opportunities are endless.
An easement buffer is created to give the residents perceived space?A wasted opportunity!

2. ware-houseAnna Jankovic
The duplex warehouse is one of many variations in the industrial park. No longer are businesses limiting themselves to the commonly large end of industry, they are now preparing for the everyday consumer to interact with their process of moving goods. The source is now the point of purchase.
These sheds dont just store product anymore, they are a hub for selling. Likewise the facades of these buildings now take on a small scale aesthetic, dare we say a domestic scale. The warehouse/offi ce hybrid has many characteristic that we associate with a more urban condition;
standard windows, staircases, kitchens and amenities, and the garage door. The duplex model is analogous to terrace houses of old and utilises the idea of a shared public space, the front yard. Where the party wall was once made of bricks and mortar, it now takes the form of a concrete panel.

The single volume warehouses vary considerably in scale. This model appears frequently throughout the Eastlink Business Park, yet its modes of use vary from storage to manufacture, all at a relatively small scale for fl exibility fo movement. The tilt construction now works with panels horizontally stacked to support the increased roof span. While similar to the Duplex warehouse a front-of-house offi ce unit acts as the public zone for the building, where contemporary commercial industry thrives.

The site is located at 10 Ordish Road, Dandenong South which is beside the new Eastlink freeway.There is a new estate of industrial blocks under construction now. The total dimen-sion of this site is about 88 meters deep and 30 meters wide. It is a small twins block in the industrial estate.
It shows a common typology of small/medium industrial buildings around East-link. The industrial buildings there have a similar confi guration: A small offi ce block attaches to a huge warehouse. The differ-ence can be defi ned by treatment of the exterior faade. The colourful glass wall with formal entrance and landscaping for guests and staff entrance are at the front. Another large roller shutter access is for trucks, directly beside the offi ce entrance.
There are different textures and colour tones, and different layouts and design intentions for the offi ce portion and the warehouse. It seems that they are two different buildings, with no response or coherence in faade design between offi ce portion and warehouse.

The building is set at the
corner of Dandenong
Road and Wedge Road in
Carrum Downs.
Like a typical indus-
trial building it presents
a rectangular shape made
by concrete panels (they
are set around a steel
structure) and low-pitched
gable roof; but like a
typically one we see that
the space inside is divided
into seven rooms (instead
of having a sole space for
a single activity) that are
used for the most differ-
ent commercial activities
such as furniture show-
room, storage of water
tanks, Indian shop.
That is the reason why
this building can be con-
sidered like a hybrid be-
tween industrial shed and
a commercial strip-: The
inside, in fact, reminds us
of the usual subdivision of
street facing commercial
blocks, (even if in this
case its different because
you cant see the inter-
nal partitions from the
outside) while the outside
is clearly connected and
related to the typical
industrial architecture
of Carrum Downs.

from the north elevation to
the south. As we can see
from the image the struc-

The result of the repeti-

Utilized for the production, storage and dispatch of steel, this building is a highly customized machine. Built around a series of 3-axis cranes, which inhabit both the entire building and some back of house areas, the steel structure relies upon and supports the mobile cranes. With a central loading strip for truck entry and thoroughfare standing out in its red colouring, the internal components of this machine rely upon distinguishing colours for the safer use of the cranes and internal transportation.
Every detail of the structure is customized to allow for full crane mobility and accessibility.
With very little external features, other than a front truck weigh station, this building is very inwardly focused, determined to fully support the needs of truck pick-up and dispatch.
Located next to the newly fi nished Eastlink freeway, this building is in a prime position to effi ciently accomplish its goal of a streamlined steel production and delivery process.

Exploded Perspective
-
Crane Bracing. The crane structure is supported from the buildings primary structure. This brac-ing is mirrored on either side of the central truck thoroughfare to avoid blocking passing vehicles.
Internal View
Primary structure and C-purlin. The steel portal-frame structure plateaus at the peaks of the roof line. C-purlins rest between the primary steel beams and the colorbond roof. Small L braces assist in the beam to purlin join at every 4th C-purlin.
Cross Bracing. Tertiary cross bracing is applied between steel columns in front of the colorbond skin of the building. This skin is attached to hori-zontal steel girts attached to the primary beams.
Crane Structure Alterations. Across and above the internal road, the primary crane structure is thickened. This is due to a greater span between beams either side of the road, than usually found within the rest of the structure.
External View
-
Secondary Cross Bracing. Steel L bracing is ap-plied is segments between columns throughout the building. In this drawing both a regular cross brace is applied, as is a customized brace to allow machinery to fi t underneath.
Crane System. The multi-axial cranes are mobile in three directions. The cranes themselves span between columns in a lengthways direction, two spanning cranes between each row of columns. These spans move width ways across the build-ing.
Crane System. On top of the spanning crane, smaller units (in which the crane chain is located) sit which release or contract the chain to lift or drop accompanying steel. These units also move along the structure on which they rest.
Drainage and support system. Downpipes are located in segments on every second row of col-umns, where the roof points are at their lowest. C-purlin bracing is customised to accommodate the downpipes.

Located in South Park In-dustrial Estate, at 230 - 240 South Park Drive Dande-nong South, this industrial building currently under construction will serve as the warehouse and offi ce for a packaging company called Restore. The building is 230m x 90m excluding two external offi ces and a cafe on the land of 270m x 130m. Approximate height is 9m to eave and 9.9m to ridge.
It is an example of the mega-size contemporary in-dustrial building constructed to maximize storage vol-ume. Its large width requires only one middle row of steel columns to support which creates not only a large stor-age volume but also easy movement of trucks, cranes as well as stock replace-ment. According to the con-struction team supervisor, this 20,700 m2 warehouse, and approximately 1,800 m2 offi ces and cafe take about 5 to 6 months to construct and costs about $11 million (average $488/m2).

The design of this type of contemporary structure incorporates the offi ce and display room with the warehouse where part of the offi ce/display room is footed in the warehouse perimeter and the other part is located outside the warehouse, connected with a door. It is a convinient way of shortening business transection as costumers can order and get immediate service deliveries after visiting display room.
The interesting sustainable design approaches of the warehouse are the effective capture of natural light and the recycling of rain water. The warehouse captures the majority of natural light through its hundreds of skylights which result in the minimal use of artifi cial light. A large round rain water tank is installed outside at the front of the warehouse and is connected to the fi re service pipes (red coloured pipes) in an array beneath the roof structure. These pipes also work as roof bridgings. The creation makes this building unique from other visited contemporary industry buildings.
There are four loading docks constructed at the front of the warehouse. Two docks are designed for unloading goods where trucks are allowed to drive into the warehouse through the 4m wide x 4.5m high roller doors. The other two docks are designed for uploading the goods where there is an adjustable lifter to load the goods into different sized trucks. Trucks enter to upload goods via a sloped driveway excavated 1m into the ground. This design allows for a convenient method to upload goods because it does not need to be lifted up by cranes in order to be loaded into the trucks i.e. goods just need to be put onto rolling lifters at ground level of the warehouse in order to load them into a truck.
-
The approach taken to analyse and design the industrial structure(s) is based in the concept of looking into a broader area of the site and then looking into a very close detailed structure. Site conditions such as easement and green areas have infl uenced tremendous the outcome of the design resolution.
The site is industrial in the middle of vast green fi elds, very low in density, with very few transport roots, and no public transport access.The site also has an easement (William Angliss Native Grassland reserve) which regulates the order of its surrounding infrastructures such as the warehouses, roads etc. therefore there is this monolithic fl ow of structure fl owing in the same angle and direction.

As the demands on the industry
continue to escalate, the need for
fast, accurate storage, handling and
distribution is becoming increas-
ingly critical to warehouse per-
formance. This pamphlet analyses
the storage system in a precedent
warehouse and looks at the particu-
lar elements of the system design
that makes the building function
more productively and protably.
The subject warehouse is located at
27 Koornany Road Scoresby and
has been selected as a precedent
because it uses a generic storage
system that can be integrated into
most warehouse buildings with
similar programs.

Storage >Pallet Racking
This particular type of pallet rack storage system provides access to every pallet and is
adjustable and adaptable. The storage density is low, 35 % of floor space used and 25 %
cubic space used on average. Stock is stored on racks with bar codes. Each isle and bar
code is linked to stock levels stored on the computer system. When stock is removed
from the racks, the bar code is scanned and information is sent to the computer.
The base system consists of two steel upright members joined together by bolted
bracing. Beams run horizontal and are load bearing members that slot into the upright
members
-
Storage >Raised
The warehouse uses a raised storage
system whereby extra floor space is
added within the shell of the exist-
ing building. The raised storage area
creates a separate zone that is used
for slow moving stock. The space
beneath the structure is used for pick
face shelving
Pick Face
The pick face design is similar the pallet rack
system. However, the pick face beams are lighter
weight and carry a lesser load. Staff members fol-
low electronic computer instructions that appear
on a hand held scanner. It tells them what isle and
row to collect the product from. Once the prod-
uct is removed from shelf is scanned. The data is
undated in computer system for stock levels
Packaging >Benches
All the small parts needed to complete the pack-
aging stage is neatly stored in the bench. The
benches are located next to the conveyor belt and
boxes placed on the conveyor belt to be rolled
through a check-out scanner and sent to the
loading bay

Carrum Downs, sometimes
known as Botany Park, is a
suburb of Melbourne, Victo-
ria, Australia.
Carrum Downs is central
to the most popular Mel-
bourne suburbs and it is
situated approximately 45
kilometres south east of the
CBD. In recent years Carrum
Downs has seen the growth
of numerous industrial areas,
characterized by the same
simple urban structure.

Fiorano Modenese is a small
town of 16500 inhabitants in
the north of Italy, near Mode-
na (in Emilia Romagna).
It is one of the most impor-
tant centres for the ceramic
tiles trade, which had a huge
growth beginnig from 1960s.
The government tried to
regulate this urban increase
but during recent times the ex-
pansion has been uncontrolled
and the area is characterized
by a confused and disorgan-
ized urban structure with dif-
ferent buildings typologies.

street space character
give the perception to stay
into a tiny area, structured
like a village, all compart-
mentalised by fences and
with an almost cute atten-
tion to the green areas.
The simple urban
structure is due to
the combination of dif-
ferent individual blocks
systems and the semplicity
of the area is the result
of the iteration of the same
bare typology, which
includes saddle roof and
roo! ights.
Carrum downs provides a
simple, repetitive struc-
ture, in which you can
perhaps recognize a small
town or suburbs emphasis
on the individual lot di-
mensions, uses of the space

forms on disorganized
blocks. The result of an
unregulated growth and the
coexistence of new and pre-
existing buildings offers a
confused urban tissue and
the complexity of the area
emerges from the mixture
of different typological so-
lutions, combined into the
same building and showing
several roofs, differently di-
mensioned and orientated.
Fiorano Modenese shows a
composite structure, which
offers the idea of a central-
ised industrial area: lots are

boundary typesboundary types
Weak limit
The space in between the in-
dustrial buildings is marked
only by a different land use:
small pieces of ground with
grass are able to separate
streets from pedestrian paths
and private industrial areas.
The result is a permeable
area without any physical
limit.
Marked limit
Gates and fences are able
to set up a hierarchy in the
space around the buildings,
creating a division between
the movements places
(streets and pedestrian
paths) and working areas
(which include car-parks,
trucks and storage spaces).
Strong limit
A strong separation between
the internal buildings areas
and the streets is created
through the use of massive
walls made of concrete.
The result is a close, im-
permeable sensation and
the boundary is not simply
a concept but starts to be
a physical element in the
landscape.
Weak limit
The space in between the in-
dustrial buildings is marked
only by a row of trees: the
boundary is completely
permeable and transitory.
Separation of different move-
ments types is regulated only
by trees trunks in order to
create a natural diaphragm
between buildings, private
areas and streets.
Marked limit
The use of fences sets up a
division between the streets
and the pedestrian paths and
the areas around the build-
ings, used as car-parks, truck
areas and storage spaces.
The use of trees and shrubs
contributes to increase the
urban quality of the area.
Strong limit
The combination of walls,
fences and soft elements like
grass, trees and shrubs is set
up into a boundarys solution
which gives the site a strong
hierarchy in its spaces, orga-
nized into various levels,
each one with different use
destinations.

landscape qualities landscape qualities
Carrum Downss landscape
A strong aim to plan the
green areas with large-scale
projects solutions clearly
emerges in Carrum Downs.
The green spaces include
not only the typical material
related to parks, like trees,
shrubs and pedestrian paths,
but also lakes, barbecue
and pic-nic areas in order
to create a place for workers
during their breaks and for
every day use.
Fioranos landscape
It is possible to recognize
a strong division between
the main street side, which
provides an urban structure
simply projected through
the use of tree rows, fences
and small walls, and the
industrial buildings back
side, where the landscape is
completely un-structured and
includes agricultural solu-
tions as cultivated " elds and
transient boundaries.

The site is located at Simcock-Avenue, Spotswood beside the har-
bour of Port Melbourne.
It is a traditional large-scale industrial complex. The whole site is
currently abandoned, and unoccupied.
The total dimension is about 200meters deep by 140 meters wide. It
is a huge factory estate made up of several different buildings with
various elevations.
It is an old typology of industrial building complex constructed
with traditional red brick walls and steel window frames. The saw-
tooth roof profi le is facing south so daylight can be provided to the
interior and preventing direct sunlight from the north, so that the
interior environment can be easily maintained at a suitable tempera-
ture level.
The offi ce block is situated above the main access for trucks. It
acts likes the control tower of an airport to control and secure the
entrance and manage the operation of the whole complex.
The different buildings have a similar architectural language,
texture, colour tone and sawtooth roof profi le . Overall they form a
coherent image for the whole complex.
There are same architecture language by same texture, colour tone
and Zigzag roof showing in all different block. They have the
coherent and response for whole complex.

This is one example of an old industrial building in Melbourne. It is built around the 1960s located at Braybrook, an old industrial part of Melbourne. Bricks and steel cladding are the main construction materials. The building is currently oc-cupied by the Peerless Food manufacturing company.
This building was built in a division of six units. The buildinvgs front facade has six single door entries to each of the unit and the load-ing zone entrance is located at the back of house. There-fore, compare to the con-temporary industrial typolo-gies which mainly locate its loading zone entrance at the front, thus surrounded with fences for safety and security purposes.
Today, there are only fi ve units appear in the build-ing. This is a result of changes and extensions to the building overtime. The front entries are no longer used and the back of house has become the core area. However, one will not notice there is a big contrast between the front and the back as the brick surface has become a disguise to assimilate into this industrial suburban area.
