0.0 BRIEF
0.0 BRIEF The Fox and the Lion Studio will embrace practicing ‘Noble’ architecture in the Pacific following Machiavellian Principles. We will look at developing business offshore; building in the Pacific region; establishing relationships between private enterprise, governments and Aus-aid. We will look outside the realm of architecture into native title, encouraging local industry, skill acquisition and at the same time, grapple with the future of archiecture as a ‘practice’ and a worth while profession and our role as responsible custodians of the planet. QUESTIONING Killim Taem - referred to those activities which young people, particularly young men, did to “kill time” when they had no work or other more productive activities to do.
1.0 TASK 2 | DHANIKA
TASK 2 - SUN DIAL Further research is done on the isalnd of Efate and the geological makeup of the island. More research is done on the notions of time by the Ni-Vanuatu and how that can be developed into a spatial construct. By using isolation as a method of dealing with change, they can assimilate other cultures and customs while still retaining their idea of Kastom. An ever evolving idea of culture and customs is created by living in the present. Materiality plays into the design in order to reference the natural materials wihile re purposing the form of a sun dial to connect it to the natural time cycles of the land.

CYCLICAL TIME POINTS
Nipin Vi [new time] oct - march
Continuity is embedded in island notions of time, space and history. Fundamental Structural contours and organization of place and time have not changed. In the island, time was kept by occasional yet recurrent events that marked points within the hours and the seasons.

TASK 3 - CANOE SHOP Research into attractors to Efate Island such as water activities and scuba diving as a catalyst for program of a shop in Port Villa. Analysis of canoe construction, Interaction to water especially tidal cycles, and phenomenology qualities of a cave were used as a driver for the development of the canoe and water activity shop. The shop is linked to the water not only through the creation of the canoes by the toursits but also through the tidal cycle and the gradual flooding of the building culminating in the release of the canoes at high tide to go take the tourists to enjoy their preferred activity, whether it’s fishing, scuba diving, or snorkleing.

MACHIAVELLI’S THE PRINCE RESPONSE My first impression without reading the book had always been that Machiavelli advocated for the ideal dictator and that the political ideas were aligned with wrong doing, wickedness and deception since that’s the image people have dispersed of the prose. To be aligned with Machiavellian logic was equated with dictatorship. Yet on actual analysis of the content, “The Prince” advocates for a leader that does not deal in regular morality but that can make decisions by outweighing all the factors whether it is considered cruel or unjust by the people. It is about seizing the opportunity at the right moment to get into power and maintaining that power by any means. For me it was quite interesting to delve into the rhetoric as explained by Skinner. His views on how perception can alter the way an action can be taken totally set the prince in a new light. We live in a corrupt world in which generosity is actually lax behavior and justice is extravagance. By seeing this perspective on society one can better understand who has power and how to adapt to maintain it.

TASK 5 - ATHLETICS VILLAGE Research into the financial advantages of Vanuatu as a Tax Haven lead to the exploration of athletes as the client in a scheme were the tax haven status is used to tax evade. The athletes instead use these funds to help build up the local athletics program through facilities in order to continue claiming residency of Vanuatu. The athletes themselves become attractors for the resort as tourists want to take lessons or see them practice. The local youth would be recruited to run the facilities and learn the sports, thus building up the national olympic team of the future through corruption. The land would return to the locals after 75 years creating the opportunity for Vanuatu to host Olympic games since the facilities are already in place.

ENTREPRENEURS
Adam Scott (Golf), Pat Rafter (Tennis), Bernard Tomic (Tennis), Mark Webber (Formula 1) Countries that have the reputation as tax havens seem all the rage for Australia’s sporting elite — Pat Rafter is reportedly a resident of Bermuda, Bernard Tomic has moved to Monaco, and Scott resides in Switzerland. Vanuatu once did a booming trade, but new agreements mean the tax department’s eyes extend further into Port Vila’s banks than ever before. It’s still possible to have undeclared income sitting in Vanuatu’s banks, because the ATO needs to know what to look for before it can find the money, but it’s more risky. So if you’re thinking of a tax haven, you’ll need substantial annual capital gains or enough money to negotiate with the tax authorities in a select few jurisdictions.
3.1 OBSERVATIONS
NI-VANUATU DEMOGRAPHIC Kilim Taem (Killing Time) Youth
Vanuatu Young People’s Project. It addresses issues concerning young people in urban areas, such as police brutality, political instability, crime, unemployment, and lack of education. Attracted to the capital by the hope of work and opportunity, many people instead find themselves “killing time” looking for and waiting for work. The young unemployed have become known as “SPRs”, or those who “sperem public rod” or “hit the road.” With an estimated 59% of the population under 24 years of age and an additional 18% of the population between 15-24 years of age, Vanuatu’s overall population is very young. For young people who are not in school, a major problem they face is the lack of things to do to pass their time. Another problem they face is the lack of opportunities they have to acquire new skills. Many young people leave school at a relatively early age at the class six levels despite there being a need for them to acquire to fully succeed in urban areas. Although most young people (95%) say they need some form of further training, only 16% indicated that such training was available in the area where they lived. As noted above many young people were interested in learning about Kastom.
NI-VANUATU DEMOGRAPHIC Kilim Taem (Killing Time) Youth
Because young people are often unemployed or underemployed, ‘killing time’ is a way to pass the time in a variety ways. Killing time is also important because it is often time spent with peers, and peer relationships are of great importance to young people in town. Killing time is intensely social and central to relationship-building among young people, but it is widely criticized by the older generation. Young people are particularly visible in town because housing and settlement areas can be crowded; many young people spend a great deal of time in public spaces. Many young people reported that they are interested in sports and music but these activities require equipment and facilities that they often do not have access to.

5.0 MID SEMESTER PROJECT
MID SEMESTER PROJECT The work from the previous weeks was compiled into portfolios and the printed work was exhibited at the end of a full day workshop. We were asked to collect various items as well as take pictures in various areas in order to participate in the full day workshop for mid semester. We were divided into groups and given a brief of creating a site plan of a community 20 years from now representing an aspect of women empowerment. We were also given smaller tasks like creating a political poster that defined our scheme as well as creating a costume that represented our clients.
REFLECTION Site Plan created with an industrial theme to the brief. The goal was to break down war ships to build a space ship and have all the women leave the planet destroyed by wars. Created barrier walls to protect the remaining land from further destruction and divided the land in sectors according to the needs of the people.
5.1 GROUP SITE PLAN
THESIS STATEMENT As the modern industrialized world appropriates more areas steeped in cultural significance, the local way of life gets more and more diluted. In Vanuatu, where globalization is slowly making its way through the local Kastom, we can attempt to stall the complete dilution of the local culture as it begins. In Port Villa, we can already see the issues that arise by this dilution such as the killing time youth that turn to crime as a way of life and forsake Kastom. We must be sensitive to the local essence of place and the customs of its people. For the Ni-Vanuatu, their perception of time can become a powerful tool in dealing with change and adapting to it. They value the present over the past and the future, as evident by their usage of the same words for both the days after tomorrow and the days before yesterday, Neis. It is through this emphasis in the now that lets them adapt to modernity while keeping various aspects of Kastom alive. Their geography, culture, and perception of time is also shaped by the sea. Their relationship to the water as a way of life is sharply contrasted by their lack of swimming skills. Transportation is mainly by water, and the isolation of the island by the sea creates a static “island time.� This emphasis on the environment as well as time can be further explored through the legacy that it leaves, whether it is environmental change or cultural change through time. In this regard, architecture can be a key factor in the reciprocal relationship between environmental change and the passage of time. So how can Architecture challenge the legacy of time?

RESORT - VILLAS Luxury villa retreat to be designed on our site as the initiation of the final project. The villa must be between 50 to 80 sqm, embedded in the surrounding landscape, with good ventilation, cater to the senses and attract a client according to the scheme of the project proposal. The design is based on a vanuatu myth of wrapping sticks and casting them at sea to get good weather. The villa is positioned on the water’s edge in order to make use of the tidal patterns as a way to track the time. The program is divided between three retaining walls to create privacy within the villa. The design of privacy and luxury is targeting athletes looking for a getaway retreat with maximum privacy.

Vanuatu sand drawings are not merely “pictures”, but refer to a combination of knowledge, songs, and stories with sacred or profane meanings. “This is Vatangele. Vatangele is a rock in south Pentecost Island. It is the gateway to Paradise. So everyone on Pentecost has to know this. If someone dies and doesn’t know how to draw this, they will not be able to go on to Paradise. But if they know how to draw it, the gate will open for them.”

8.1 OBSERVATIONS
Design Concept: The architectural concept of the London Aquatic Centre is inspired by the fluid geometries of water in motion, creating spaces and a surrounding environment that reflect the riverside landscapes of the Olympic Park. An undulating roof sweeps up from the ground as a wave – enclosing the pools of the Centre with a unifying gesture of fluidity, while also describing the volume of the swimming and diving pools. The Aquatics Centre is designed with an inherent flexibility to accommodate 17,500 spectators for the London 2012 Games in ‘Olympic’ mode while also providing the optimum spectator capacity of 2000 for use in ‘Legacy’ mode after the Games.
ACCESS
ACCESS
Design Challenges: The challenge was to create an economic covering for a state of the art pool. Johannesburg sits on a plateau known as the “highveld,� 5,000 feet above sea level, with earth rich in iron ore, causing frequent lightning strikes. Although the climate is temperate, night-time temperatures can drop significantly.The new pool was required to be both covered and heated. Tubular steel framing system minimizes the depth of the steel and incorporates lateral bracing seamlessly into the span. The criss-cross pattern recalls the geometric patterns of native African beadwork and basket weaving.In this way, elegance is brought to something basic.
ACCESS
ACCESS
8.2 AQUATICS RESEARCH
Design Concept: The project is articulated by a system of garden through which the four pools are connected. A flooded landscape planted with species typical of tropical wetlands provides separation of private and public spaces. The program required a complex system of bathrooms and changing rooms for swimmers and the public, All this areas are beneath the aquatic gardens. A set of courtyards below ground level give natural illumination to them and provide a meeting space and warm up area for competitors and swimers.
ACCESS
ACCESS
With no views, the ocean beyond becomes audible and the transition between roadway and ocean is captured in an sensory experience within the building. From almost every angle the water levels of both the pool and the adjacent ocean appear to be equal, visually connecting Siza’s pool with the vast Atlantic Ocean. This intentional blurring of the ocean’s edge not only enhances the swimmer’s feelings of the expanse, but also blurs their understanding of this man made limit. In the Leça Swimming Pools, Siza demonstrates a connection with the natural while maintaining its individuality as a modern construction.
The concept also arranges the shells on the ‘island’ so the resultant form is eye catching whilst having a sense of place through an attachment with the manmade but expressive landscape. The hard landscape follows the natural form of rock pools and weathered outcrops forming a textured and contoured base from which the building springs whilst providing easy access to and around the building.

Using the design research studies to find form that is relevant to the program as well as to the site and the culture of Vanuatu while keeping the vernacular language of construction in mind. Sketching the inspirations and overlaying the sketches to draw over the forms that catered to the program in plan and section. Introducing program to add scale and organize the circulation through the spaces.
PLAN 1:200
Materiality is also taken into account when designing the form of the building. The observations of Vanuatu weather making by the shamans are taken as the translation of the materials in the building. The pools and floors are more solid and grounded thus made out of concrete, while the canopy takes after the leaves thus using textiles for layering. Wood louvers are introduced as well to represent the leaves.

HOW CAN ARCHITECTURE CHALLENGE A LEGACY? BUILDING THAT ADAPTS TO THE ENVIRONMENT The design of the building is heavily influenced by the environment in order to withstand the climate of Vanuatu. The program is divided into two layers in order to cater to possible flooding if the tide rises higher than the usual 1 meter at high tide. The lower floor holds the amenities and pools that would not be harmed by flooding. The canopy is fragmented in different levels for high wind resistance. Also, the fragmented canopy diffuses the sun light throughout the building. The canopy structure holds ball lenses at the center of the panel structure which focuses the diffused sunlight into photovoltaic cells that run the amenities of the building.

HOW CAN ARCHITECTURE CHALLENGE A LEGACY? BUILDING THAT ADAPTS TO PEOPLE The design of the building is heavily influenced by the use of the Ni-Vanuatu people as well as the resort guests. The program is divided into two layers, the resort entrance layer on top and the aquatic center layer at the bottom yet the building has a general open access to both layers. The restroom amenities in the lower floor also serve the top layers and the food areas of the top floor cater to the lower layer. This mixing of program and circulation allows for equality between both types of users. The aquatic center gives back to the local community through lessons for the young kids as well as creating a place for gathering of the older kids to learn a sport and improve their lives through atheletic training.
