background bio Alexander Terzakis, Student Currently in my final year at Swinburne’s Bachelor of Design (Architecture). Looking forward to graduating and finding a role in the industry particularly in a commercial setting as I want to give back to the public and make my design mean everything to the community involved and using the space.

In my spare time I love sport, travelling and music which I pass my time outside architecture. I have played soccer since in was 5 which makes it a huge part of who I am today.

I fell in love with architecture through travelling across Europe my whole childhood, as well as VCD in high school. I also find the best part about this job is the final satisfaction you recieve once a project is complete, and you look back and dive into how far you have actually come across that period.

finding X in newport and analysis

project outline aims

X is interpreted to focus on: 1. rebrand of the old Newport into new modern location and suburb 2. importance of site and significance of cultural identity and restoring that history 3. experience focused design and inclusive program, how must we lift the interface and make it attractive to everyone?

1. railway museum 2. extension of Substation arts/event program 3. social hub creation 4. sporting/green space relationship

concept overview

concept generation

two general main concept directions

ideation sketches that shaped the massing 01 stacking and subtracted method of geometry

02 slicing and circular/curved geometry

01 stacking and subtracted method of geometry focusing on vertical connectivity and balance between built and green area relationship

02 slicing and circular/curved geometry focusing on absorbing and surrounding the central train track and large atrium museum spaces

54

55

concept 1 massing creation: stacking and slicing of rectagular geometry

01 rectangular geometry

02 subtraction and slicing stage 1 into bent form to match site boundary

03 subtraction and slicing stage 2 to create the combination of forms

04 addition of green spaces to break up and compliment the joining of separate geometry

56

rebrand of the old Newport into provides us with plenty opportunity to create both indoor and outdoor spaces for the community

built and green space connection, this connection is clear and required in the built environment as well as in the urban planning of the site

experience focused design and inclusive program access for all while still providing the neccessities that the site needs, with added areas of improvement

importance of site/cultural identity trains program and reference and inclusion of the arts/events precinct will be successful

57

concept ideation furthering the original concept to match aims and X

ideation models iterations of main north museum based off of ideation from original concept 01 stacking + layering nature of the design emulating the chaos of the train tracks

63

concept 3.1 massing furthering the developed concept to further meet goals 01 Trying to create fluidity throughout the site proposal to encourage an experience between the 2 built spaces

02 Try to activate the centre of the site, rather than diverting traffic, making it a centre point to outdoor exhibits/events

03 Circulating the spaces further, in particular to the central and east/ west urban context

64

final massing concept development photos

concept 3.1 developed final with associated aims and X concept 3.1 acknowledging how X must be broken down to achieve the final proposal highlighting the 3 aspects of development included into the next steps section of 3.1 fluidity in regards to experience, circulation and overall flow between built and unbuilt urban environments activation focus on the centre point of the site, overall connection and creation of an outdoor event/exhibition space circulate indoor circulation, circulation throughout the site regarding experience, as well as urban circulation surrounding the site

65

how 3.1 is effective?

how does it meet X and cater for brief

general form - spaces selected for program development

01 concept 2.2 - how must we adapt it to activate the site?

02 combination created focusing on combining previous concepts to achieve the best outcome possible for the north mass 03 south massing for added museum and event program, still how must we activate the core of the site?

04 bring south massing closer to create a ease of transition between spaces, as well as capturing the centre amongst the program 05 additional green space to create harmony through these transitional built spaces, creating a south side entrance walkway from south existing carpark and overall central area

6 points of access across site proposal caters for everyone to access which ever way they are coming from, this ultimately enforces the circulation

They are all effective in portraying the scale of the building and combinations of geometry working well together

adjusted entry points

design connection to context

selected points and associated reasoning for each

north entrance north carpark, newport station and substation foot traffic access. Access directly into the arts precinct which you can bypass to the museum space via the central courtyard. Also can walk around to the main entrance via Market Street walkway

main entrance focus point being the centre of the site the outdoor urban area as the central point of activation, in between the museum and social precinct, creating a divergent circulation to the 2 sections

how does design connect to location and neighbourhood context

substation extension

four categories associated with the main precincts of the site

museum area

site footprint associated with the surrounding inner context of the 4 areas

green sensory spaces

limited arts and gallery spaces in regards to substation extension

social club

shows the importance of the program as it is the future 2040 arts precinct of the area

south entrance south carpark entrance to the urban space that is a great entry for the private social event space as well as the public social club. To access the centre of the site you will have to either go through the space or walk around to entrance 1

quick sketch to represent how the surrounding environment and neighbourhood will closely link and be attracted to the site and its program (to be developed into a diagram)

connection diagram

concept development #2

connection to site and neighbourhood context explanation

how should we further activate the site centre with better arrangement

indoor outdoor activation opening up the built spaces into the centre of the site to gain more attraction to the central urban space and what it can be used for the north side: railway extension with the spirit of progress locomotive being half in half out in the urban space the south side: the extension of the cafe outdoor seating area

clarity in design diagram is clear and easy to pick up on the factors for why the access points are where they are associated by the surrounding attraction to the site

concept development #3

microclimate analysis for landscape

interior area finish ideation and exterior connection

factors looked further into to further activate and interact with the site centre microclimate winter solstice

mass merge across the south north built area was already established as a massing geometric boundary south just did this via conceptualisation of the built forms and how they interact and act together from the facade and interior spaces I believe it now works well across the board

circulation

5 main areas that make up the proposal

diagram representing how both public and private circulate

first floor

takeaways generally the circulation is effective in allowing everyone to circulate across the 3 built environment areas whichever floor they are on with interconnected circulation ground floor

I feel like the private could be improved by seperating it from the public, and keeping it more BOH so it doesn't interfere with the guest experience

takeaways still got to consider the foot traffic and create a more general main circulation and detailed space design. Connection between the smaller paths compared to a general commercial path would be great, enhancing the experiences of the individuals

floor plans 1.3 sketch work for redevelopment focusing on increased circulation

floor plans 2.1 preliminary post mark up floor plans derived off of development takeaways interior and exterior circulation is succesful and more thorough in how the audience will experience the space at the best possible outcome removal off museum spaces and rebrand to arts and education to create social and interactive ties as a canvas to the proposal and social hub some walls need adjustment in terms off alignment in the underground spaces and a few scattered areas, but other than that the general massing areas work well
