WHAT KILLED FISHERMAN’S BEND?

Melbourne Design Week 2024
Have you ever wondered what's happening with Fisherman's Bend? Despite numerous announcements and master plans over the years, it still is not the destination and innovation hub we were promised.

Paul van Herk explores this question in the form of an engaging murder mystery game. From the moment you step into Weston Court, you're immersed in the experience. Red lighting on the staircase, an empty swivel chair still haunted by our detective, and task lamps casting shadows on walls covered in maps, documents, and notes—all take you into Paul's headspace, getting lost in the mountain of evidence, planning proposals, community feedback and pieces of the puzzle.

I highly recommend visiting this exhibition. It is a refreshing, frank look into one of Victoria’s biggest development challenges.
