A megacity is defined as city with 10 million inhabitants or more. The population of Melbourne is projected double over the next 40 years, from 5 million to 10 million people. This growth in population will be accompanied by a major growth in the urban fabric of Melbourne, and those in the design industries will play a central role in determining the type of city Melbourne will become. This exhibition presented ideas and propositions for Melbourne’s future as a megacity from an array of local designers, architects, urban planners and thinkers.

Amy is an Australian Architect and Spatial Designer based in Berlin. Her work explores the intersection of art and architecture. Her site specific projects span exhibition and installation design, scenography, set design, and architecture - from concept to completion.
