Aussie St is David Holmgren's
Aussie St is David Holmgren's way of illustrating both the changes that have occurred in suburbia over many decades, and the potential for positive, realistic changes into the future.
The Aussie St story is a useful method of communicating these concepts to a wide range of audiences. Many of the retrosuburban patterns outlined in the RetroSuburbia book occur in fictional form here, and by telling this story David aims to give you an introduction to these concepts.
In Part 4, David continues the story of Aussie St into the 1980s & 1990s: 'Aging and Infill'.
--------------------------------------------------
Aussie St is an early 1950s subdivision on grazing land at the urban fringes of an Australian capital city. Most of the houses in the subdivision were built with ‘war service’ low-interest loans from the Commonwealth Bank.
The four houses in this part of Aussie St are all three bedroom detached homes on quarter acre blocks (1000 m2) of the same design. The houses are all double brick and tile roofed, although in some other parts of the subdivision they’re made from asbestos sheeting and corrugated iron. The floor area of each house is 12½ ‘squares’ (116 m2), which was average for the time. Our story traces the history of this ordinary place from the Golden age of suburban growth and the baby boom in the 1950s, through the childhood and adolescence of that generation in the 1960s and 1970s period of Rising affluence and additions, to the Aging and infill that changed the street in the 1980s and 1990s.
The late 2000s’ Permaculture Retrofit lays the foundations for the creative retrosuburban responses to the challenging times of the Second Great Depression of the 2020s, which shows how people in Aussie St managed to not only survive, but thrive.
