Our Enduring Context

Due to the projects’ scattered arrangement, special attention was made to connect the structures through a typology.

This typology was exhaustively iterated in order to arrive at a set of material, assembly and experiential parameters which could be applied across the project.

This exploded diagram describes the stereotomic ground plane, translucent upper level, and modular roofline of the exhibition hall.

402 Darling Street, Balmain

Marker Architecture & Design

top right bottom material palette drawing + partial table for ESD consultant

402 Darling Street is a proposed alts and ads to a mature mixed use family home and ofce in the heart of Balmain. Through careful planning and demolition-averse principles, an arrangement of spaces are provided that will better address the lives of the young and soulful family, creating moments that speak to their shared histories and interests.

MY ROLE

The project is lead by Ben Nemeny (Director, Marker).

I was tasked with the documentation (DA, for-information, and now CD), BIM development, consultant liaising and some aspects of design iteration. Each drawing shown for this project was drawn by me and checked by Ben.

RE-USE

Primary structural members and various other site materials with the potential for removal or demolition have been mapped and recorded. This information has been shared with ESD and civil consultants who we will work closely with to guide the project’s material direction.

A historically underappreciated but universally relatable daily action, urination is a necessary cog in our human existence. The following work suggests a departure from lifeless porcelain bowls and an embrace of the moment of meditative relief that defines urination.

Learning From Seoul

CYCLICAL SPACES IN THE BORROWED CITY

Seoul is a highly productive city. This productivity is enabled by various culturally-ingrained attitudes towards social and physical aspects of the city.

One of these core attitudes is Seoul’s borrowing culture, in which a space or object may be borrowed, as long as it is returned in its original condition.

Although there are limits to this ‘borrowing’, there is a shared understanding that it helps the city of Seoul to remain agile, acknowledging the rarity of space and seamlessly adapting to the challenge of the moment.

Although borrowing is a well-documented phenomenon, it is usually discussed in isolated events. But what happens when borrowing reaches its highest intensity? The Pyeonghwa Markets are an interesting example of how borrowing allows separate day and night ecosystems to exist everyday in the same place. Here, we can pull apart observations to understand how borrowing agreements difer between semi-public and public space during a 24-hour cycle.

Without storefronts, a market is a warehouse. Storefronts are implicitly semi-private spaces that allow vendors to show their goods to the street, and for wholesalers, this storefront will typically be crammed full. Often still, a vendor will need more display space than is possible within their boundaries, so they will ‘spill’ their products across a neighbouring storefront, provided that storefront is closed. Due to the short (3-hour) downtime between market periods, there is a strict expectation that the borrowed space will be returned to its original condition at the end of the time period. Such a strict implied agreement means that vendors will rarely move signifcant amounts of hardware across their boundaries, usually simply stacking stock on the ground or moving a rack of clothing over so that packing up is timely.

On the other hand, implicitly public spaces such as the footpath and road operate under a much more vague timescale. During the day, these spaces are kept relatively clear to allow heavy pedestrian/vehicular fow. Clothing racks are scarcely found on the footpath, outgoing post is kept within the

To

The result of both contexts are cyclical spaces, without which it is unlikely that wholesalers would have the space to exist in the heart of the city, which would deteriorate the productive ecosystems that Seoul runs on. Such a cycle can be thought of as a type of social architecture (as opposed to physical), comprising of ingrained understandings of the identities and limits of space in the city.
