Footscray Park Memorial Garden

菲茨杰拉德·弗里斯比：在两次世界大战之后，Footscray社区热衷于让那些没有适当回归的人被记住。在墨尔本的内西郊，沿着吉隆路的宽阔大道建立了一条荣誉大道。这条大道由数百棵灰树组成，树的底部安装了纪念个人的牌匾。
Fitzgerald Frisby: In the aftermath of two world wars, the Footscray community was keen to have those that did not return appropriately remembered. An Avenue of Honour was established along the broad boulevard of Geelong Road in the inner western suburbs of Melbourne. The avenue consisted of hundreds of ash trees with plaques installed at their bases in memory of individuals.

在接下来的半个世纪中，宽阔大道也成为了车辆交通的焦点，导致道路拓宽、交叉口改造和其他道路工程的增加。不可避免地，这些工程导致了牌匾和树木的迁移、移除或损坏。该项目试图将所有剩余的牌匾聚集在一个稳定和尊重的环境中。这是一个花园空间，位于原始大道尽头的Footscray公园内。200多块牌匾镶嵌在新的混凝土基座上，这些基座的材料和比例与原基座相似。新底座的形状使它们相互连接，形成低墙，唤起了荣誉大道背后的理念——由单个牌匾代表的牺牲共同创造了强大而持久的遗产。
Over the next half century, the broad avenue also became the focus for vehicle traffic, resulting in incremental road widening, intersection modifications and other road works. Inevitably, these works resulted in the relocation, removal or damage to plaques and trees. This project sought to gather all of the remaining plaques together in a stable and respectful setting. This setting is a garden space within the heritage-listed Footscray Park at the end of the original avenue. More than 200 plaques are set into new concrete plinths that are similar in material and scale to the originals. The shape of the new plinths allows them to interlock together to form low walls, evoking the idea behind the avenue of honour – that the sacrifices represented by the individual plaques together create a strong and lasting legacy.

通过对齐柱基，使其与原始大道的线形完全匹配，包括道路上的一个弯折，从而与原始荣誉大道建立了紧密的联系。原来的大道包括道路两侧的树木和牌匾，以及将主要道路与两侧的服务车道分隔开的交通岛，新空间中的四行基座反映了这一点。第五行柱基上有已知的名字，这些名字出现在丢失的牌匾上，还有纪念仪式上使用的旗杆。
A strong connection to the original Avenue of Honour is created by aligning the plinths to exactly match the alignment of the original avenue, including a kink in the road. The original avenue included trees and plaques on both sides of the road as well as within traffic islands separating the main road from the service lanes each side, and the four lines of plinths in the new space reflect this. A fifth line of plinths contains names known to have existed on plaques that have been lost, as well as flag poles used during commemorative ceremonies.

The project also exposed a section of underlying basalt bedrock in close proximity to the plaques, allowing a visual connection between the geological and historic foundations of the community.
