ABSTRACT
This study undertook literature studies, site and precinct analyses, and observations of 34 laneways in Perth, Western Australia. Ownership, proximity to residential, and mass transit public transport, critical node linkages, proportions, surface ‘canvas’ area, and development restrictions were assessed eliciting a suitable location to develop an Augmented Reality architectural placemaking ‘projection’ proposition. The ideation presents iterative design process visualizations within a vernacular ‘place’ setting with localized spatial linkages and functionalities, and does not draw to a definitive solution, but a novel, cost-effective, adaptable, and ‘agile’ method of activating ‘lost spaces’ without permanent structural alteration while retaining their original utility.

Notes
1. Due consideration to personal space and provision for social distancing has been considered, in accordance with local COVID requirements. This proposal does consider––mandated government requirements in response to COVID-19 which are fluid and likely to fluctuate.
2. Limitations are likely to exist in opportunity to develop local place attachment and for engagement for those that do not frequent the city versus those that visit sporadically.
