Use art as a carrier to promote the collaborative growth of community, environment and heritage over time
What if Art is the first thing to consider rather than apartment buildings?
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND HOW DOES THE PROBLEM RELATED TO THE TOPIC?
With the expansion of cities, residents have increased dramatically, industrial land has been reused, and the pressure on public spaces has increased. (Gordon, n.d.) Cities have presented a complex environment full of diverse values, interests, and diverse cultures (Iveson 2007). In addition, the publics are centre on work and family. We never seem to have time to enjoy art, socialise, and gradually form a personal social disconnect and isolation. Therefore, it is crucial to inject new vitality into the public space and establish an emotional connection with society. (Crivello, 2011).
“Everyone is an artist.” (Beuys, 2015) Art could be a tool to enhance social cohesion, and art related strategies are used for various purposes, social regeneration, political influence, and industrial revitalisation. However, they are also used to encourage forms of public life accessible to all (Hee, 2008). On the other hand, Art places use the creative class and social capital theory to promote gentrification. While it still could use creativity as part of a broader social movement to resist and oppose gentrification. (Pritchard, 2018)
Encourage accidental rather than causal connections between remembered art events, areas, objects and people. Using art-related activities to establish an emotional space for interaction is helpful to the revitalisation of heritage sites. (Edensor, 2005).
With the expansion of the city of Sydney, the number of residents has increased sharply, gentrification and the pressure on the city’s public space has increased. Industrial land in cities is gradually being removed or stopped, and the suspended industrial land needs to be revitalised and used again.
As the original industrial land, the Bays Precinct is close to the Sydney Central Business District. At the same time, it has close ties with many local centres and employment clusters in the inner west. With the increasing urbanisation and many residents who cannot afford to house, the ‘shelter for all’ policy promoted by the Inner West Council has attracted many people to live.
The rejuvenation of The Bays Precinct requires establishing a new foundation of identity and sense of place. The landscape architect will be committed to injecting art for attraction and encouraging people to lead Phytoremediation action.
The aim is to create sustainable artistry equal accessed environment for all the public. This area will initially be landscape led and revitalised by spontaneous local art occupation, later becoming established arts communities. Moreover, it will focus on increasing public social participation and promoting the ‘growth’ of community, environment, and heritage.
