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.
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?
4. built and green space connection, possibility of linking to sports across, or public getaway from Industrial identity?
1. underutilised site
2. inconsistant identity
3. lack of sense of place
4. lack of cultural significance
5. rebrand to modern newport extension of arts precinct - substation interactive education and ampitheatre space
streamlined aims
1. rejuvanate and activation of site
2. creation of social club and cultural hotspot
3. interactive exhibit and auditorium spaces
4. community experience driven design issues identified
social club precinct site centre and gathering space intended experience
final outcome & presentation developed proposal:

final proposed program placed on site program
environment segregated vertically to show connection between levels
Outcome of these were very interesting in regards to day against night programmed spaces, and the way we interact and create differently in alternative environments
ARTS EXHIBIT INTERIOR
I feel the need for experiences to be enjoyed and sociable drived the interior ayout of this space across the board of the art precinct. The grand feel of the interior accompanied by a blank canvas enhances the connection to the environment and the art on exhibition.
The day experience is more surround focus around the central pieces with sunlight from almost every angle beaming into it.
Whereas, the night experience feel can be more intimate and powerful for each piece in the exhibits across the site
final outcome in physical model was based off of the layering and physical or vertical connectivity the site proposal is surrounded by. wanted to represent this experience of immersiveness across the model, using mixed media to create the intended outcome.
