为响应维多利亚州历史上最大规模的铁路基础建设项目，March Studio接受委托开启了The Underline活化项目。

The Underline Activation project was commissioned in response the largest rail infrastructure project in the state of Victoria’s history.

移除铁轨沿线的平交道口，将从前无法使用的公共区域开辟为新空间以供社区使用，因而在铁路线下形成可共享的路径网络。沿铁轨的社区活动站点提供了运动场所及娱乐设施，是一处独特的、生气蓬勃的和具有高度可识别性的空间。

The removal of level crossings along the rail corridor opens up space for a public realm corridor, previously unavailable and provides opportunities for community use and a shared path network under the rail line. Neighbourhood activity nodes along the corridor provide sport courts and recreation equipment offering unique, vibrant and highly identifiable spaces.

空间旨在利用颜色和图案为该区域创造一种身份属性，表达当地的社会和文化价值，培养社区联系和地方自豪感。 March Studio为每个活动公园开发了一个充满活力的体验场地，与当地基础设施形成鲜明对比，成为创作和发现一系列超级图像的理想画布。

The spaces aim to utilise colour and pattern to create a place of identity in expressing the local social and cultural values of the area, nurturing community connectedness and pride of place. March Studio developped a vibrant experience for each activity nodes to contrast with the rudimentary of infrastructure, becoming an ideal canvas for the supergraphics inervention and associated way finding.

整个项目的主要挑战是在大型新建基础设施上，创造一处深具功能性、包容性和吸引力的公共空间，重塑当地社区景观。通常，高架桥和铁路下方的空间往往被忽视或者遗忘，因此挑战在于开辟活动空间和连接走廊，将“低线”渗透到生活当中，使之成为一处提供全新的公共参与和娱乐的空间。该项目作为案例，完美展示了如何改造铁轨沿线的可利用空间，通过杰出的城市设计，为个人及社区的提供有利环境，该项目为墨尔本创造了不可估量的社会价值。

The major challenge of the overall project was to create functional, inclusive and attractive public spaces within the heart of a mega piece of new infrastructure that is reshaping the landscape of its local community. The spaces underneath elevated roads and rail have traditionally been neglected or forgotten as places, so the challenge was to create activities and a connective corridor that would bring the ‘underline’ to life and provide a new level of public facility and engagement. The project has proven to be a successful demonstration of how the rail corridors can be transformed, create a lasting legacy for Melbourne through great urban design and place making for individuals and communities.
