The Goods Line
Sydney, Australia
ASPECT Studios transformed a defunct rail line into a leafy, energised civic spine in the heart of Sydney’s most densely populated area. The Goods Line is a vibrant “public campus” that connects Sydney Harbour and Central, while physically and socially networking arts, cultural and educational institutions.
With design partners CHROFI, ASPECT design reconfigured the elevated rail corridor into a series of distinct “platforms,” which can be used for public entertainment, recreation, festivals and study. The Goods Line stands as an example of the potential for design to renew isolated city spaces as creative and connected public destinations which enhance public life.
What was once a conduit for trade has been reinterpreted to carry the precious cargo of a thriving neighbourhood: culture, creativity and community.
By embracing unique modes of interpretation, the rich history of The Goods Line is revealed and at the same time has created a new identity for the precinct. Robust materials associated with the project’s railway - like gravel, concrete, steel, and timber – were thoughtfully used throughout the project to this end.
ASPECT and CHROFI undertook a design process of digital modelling and guided a construction process that made heavy use of prefabrication.
Loaded with civic ambition and public purpose, The Goods Line was painstakingly planned and executed. Each pre-cast concrete panel, light fitting, planting and stool were laboured over and intimately designed down to the finest detail. The product of that labour is a place which speaks to a new kind of social infrastructure where multiple opportunities for gathering, playing, and exchange of ideas can occur.
