ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 5

ALEXANDER TERZAKIS

SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY, SEMESTER 2, 2023

STUDIO LEADER: YALDA SOURANI

ACTUS

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.

noise pollution

8:30am 1:30pm 4:30pm

(LukasMartinelli, 2023)

(ShadowMap, 2023)

derived shadows indicate the clear issue of the east site of the site being heavily covered by shadows in the evening reduces the ability of evening natural lighting, creating limitations

Based off Newport Local Structure Plan prepared in 1999

noise pollution is significantly higher and prevalent in the West Site is heavily congested due to the trains, industrial areas, freeways and roads absorbing the surrounding environment

how will Newport Station be used in the near future?

newport power football club newport rsl newport bowls newport scout group

newport will be well connected to the CBD, as well as metro melbourne

newport will still act as the divergent path between stations: Werribee Laverton Williamstown stations by 2050.

WILL THERE BE A NEED FOR A STATION UPGRADE?

WILL IT BE ABLE TO SUFFICIENTLY UPHOLD THE INFLUX OF TRAINS, BOTH NORTH & SOUTH?

final

how does it meet X and cater for brief how 3.1 is effective?

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

general form - spaces selected for program development program

newport historical exhibit (1100m )

railway museum exhibit (2025m )

BOH (1125m )

event space (1700m )

FOH (1650m )

these 6 categories make up the site proposal areas, and a general massing is represented to allocate each section an idea of spacing organisation across the site boundary, and how they interact eachother

how do people access and bypass site proposal exterior circulation

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

bike paths and general commute path

two bike paths east and west create a hub to stop past for these commuters on their journey. The east path also allows a clear commuters path to and from the station to the existing south carpark which must remain being key to the location and functionality

recap of points to focus on for CD and DD

social club audience acknowledge a group it can be aimed at year round, as well as the general public throughout a period

drive cultural significance strong point to enforce via program and spacial organisation

noise reduction and activation research and develop general research to back up design and overall intent of the project

heavy implementation of a site heritage and significance design cultural significance

precedents are immersed in history both sites are located on historical land and boundaries. They are both within a historical district of the city, all within walking distance

newport culture community and history focused and therefore themes are aligned however, I feel there is still a lack of these places in Newport, rather only one section, and surrounding suburbs having many of these types of centres and cultural hotspots

precedents viewpoints out to historical identities and areas

both sites have areas that engage with the historical precinct via visual connections as well as physical connections

adjusted entry points

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

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

design connection to context

how does design connect to location and neighbourhood context

substation extension

museum area

green sensory spaces

social club

four categories associated with the main precincts of the site

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

limited arts and gallery spaces in regards to substation extension

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

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 to site and neighbourhood context explanation connection

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 #2

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

concept development #3

interior area finish ideation and exterior connection

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

ground and underground proposal

reconsidered geometrical nature of the building and how we go about circulating the space

Addition of the underground facility with the events BOH and public carpark

model development

model progression over time in compliance with the set aims/X self analysed markups general concensus and realisation of addition of further spaces as well as reconfiguration of existing proposed layout, to cater for all to experience the areas a lot smoother

rough area study and how we circulate the space

areas that make up the proposal first floor ground floor underground floor public circulation private/BOH circulation public lifts private/BOH lifts

diagram representing how both public and private circulate

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

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

program update

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
