Having been on a tour of the decommissioned Kew Lunatic Asylum many years

ago, I was very interested to visit the site again recently and to see the

housing development that has taken place in the grounds. I was there in late

afternoon light and took soooo many photos, but have whittled them down in

number to 51 which I will post on Flickr over the coming days. I hope I

won't bore you all to tears in the process !!

 

"Operational from 1871 to 1988, Kew Lunatic Asylum was one of the largest

asylums ever built in Australia. Later known as Willsmere, the complex of

buildings were constructed between 1864 and 1872 to the design of architects

G. W. Vivian and Frederick Kawerau of the Victorian Public Works Office to

house the growing number of "lunatics", "inebriates", and "idiots" in the

Colony of Victoria."

 

"The hospital complex was re-developed by Central Equity into residential

apartments. The Willsmere residential development was officially opened on

27 October 1993 by Premier Jeff Kennett.

 

The remaining grasslands between the Eastern Freeway and the main hospital

buildings, including the site of the asylum's cricket field were developed

as the Kew Gardens residential estate. The Kew Gardens project was completed

in 1995.

 

The buildings and grounds of the Kew Cottages (formerly the grounds of Kew

Asylum) are currently being redeveloped as the "Main Drive" project by

Walker Corporation."

"Surrounded by sweeping parkland, wide boulevards and trees that have stood

for more than a century, Main Drive Kew offers unsurpassed contemporary

architecture in an unrivalled botanic setting."

 

"Sprawling across a 27-hectare woodland sanctuary, Main Drive Kew's

individually designed homes are adjacent to the magnificent Studley Park and

nestled amongst Melbourne's best schools, premium golf courses, designer

shopping and the glorious Yarra River.

 

Historic gardens dotted with spreading Oaks, grand Moreton Bay Figs, Claret

Ash and Brazilian Rosewood provide a majestic setting. The heritage walkway

connects you to the Studley Park precinct."

Pipes used for fracking in front of a drilling rig.

Flowform sculptures have been proven to improve the quality of water and help biological processes that occur within it and in the organisms it sustains. They have been used in water purification processes enhancing their capabilities. In this case water does not pulsate inside the sculpture but it is only used to carry it down giving it a surface suitable for the creation of vortices.
