My own agenda in engaging with architecture has certainly evolved over the course of the three years in undergraduate study. To me, the most inspirational works of architecture can be judged by the depth of the conversation it conceives.

The brief calls for the redesign of the current archives building for the University of Melbourne, to be located in the bustling suburb of Brunswick, Victoria. Along with storage for 50km of archive material, the features include a reading room, an exhibition space, reception, offices as well as archival processing and research areas. An additional apartment component is also included to allow for visiting scholars. The concept of the building stems from personal experiences in discovering Brunswick and the concept of an archive building. The proposal intends to engage with the notion of graffiti inspiring curiousity and interest in the archives. The layers of emotion depicted by the graffiti artists of Brunswick presents a certain pull towards the laneways against the main roads themselves. While Sydney Road’s shop fronts hold a prominent attraction point, the network of laneways shifting away from Albert street pulls the wanderer in. This notion of graffiti is translated through the use of perforated pattern work on surfaces, enabling light to illuminate the corridoors along the boundary. These areas also act as breakout spaces inviting visitors to pause and reflect upon their experience of the archives. The patternwork of continues through the interior walls of the atrium adding a level of texture to the interior surface, guiding the visitor towards key functions. Larger openings are added to allow visitors to peer into the interior spaces such as the exhibition space as well as moments of the archive building. The design proposal attempts to instill an evocative experience targeting the general public to discover the archives. The key spaces within are embellished by open circulation corridoors and breakout spaces enriching the qualities of reflection and thought, coherent in an archive research environment.

The concept stems from the notion of revealing characteristics of Brunswick which are otherwise ignored. The network of laneways personalised by the graffiti artists describe Brunswick under a new light. The aim of this project to employ a similar notion of exposing Brunswick by peeling away from its existing boundaries, giving rise to new surfaces along with the introduction of Outré Gallery. The building in itself peels away from its adjacent surrounding, breaking the rhythm along the street. The corner points shrink away creating opportunity for entrances into each of the spaces. The floor plates are misaligned to create several typologies such as voids and overhangs. These features create a base upon which surface treatments and materiality are explored to further emphasise this notion of “peeling away”. Timber is selected as the primary material as it represents surfaces which are new and and emerge from the existing boundaries. Untreated concrete walls and floors express the rustic feeling of Brunswick upon which one may observe the timber grain lines from the boards which have been “peeled away”. These continue along the façade as entry points are characterised by the timber panels opening away inviting the passer-by. The spatial organisation was considered in a similar manner. The initial mapping of spaces and circulation defined by structural walls were further elaborated using the timber surfaces which formed a fluid system where elements of shelving would morph into seating, and then further into staircases and counters etc. The location of these elements further refined the circulation as visitors are directed in weaving pathways. Staff access routes are more direct to ensure smooth workflow in transporting objects and books. Overall the project intends to be both fluid and seamless presenting fragmented views both internally and externally, revealing both material textures, artwork and features of Brunswick under new framework.

The project focuses upon the impact of computational design on architecture. Parametric modeling combined with an iterative methodology forms the basis of the design process, aimed at ultimately arriving at a result which appropriately engages with the constraints and requirements of the brief. One of the key aspects of the studio was to explore a specific element of parametric modeling and apply research into relevant precedent works and reverse engineering to quicken the process of achieving suitable algorithms for computation. Physical prototyping utilising available resources engaged with the physical limitations of materiality and construction when exploring potential design outcomes. Patterning and Tesselated geometries were explored in length as part of the research into parametric modeling. The studio brief calls for a ‘gateway’ to the City of Wyndham, Victoria, aimed at establishing a unique identity which defines the rapidly developing western suburbia. The site overlooked major highways which form the routes in and out of Wyndham. A stopover point at a Caltex was a primary access point for visitors. The final outcome was intended to move away from a large highway installation, to form a pavillion within which one may be isolated form the fast-paced traffic which surrounded the site. The Werribee River was a key focal point of the tourism in Wyndham City and reflected the identity of the western surburbia. The pavillion therefore attempted to engage in similar subtle experiential qualities of solitude and serenity which may be observed when one visits the river. Light which is filtered through the funnels in nonlinear patterns aim to produce a sense of stillness inside, contrasting the motion of locomotives outside. Ultimately, the ‘gateway’ to Wyndham is produced as a result of the experience within the pavilion as opposed to a physical ‘gateway’ as such which one may drive by.

The project focuses on employing extensive singular ruled elements to define spatial and experiential conditions. The project delves into the realm of discrete vs. nondiscrete relationship within the architectural discourse. The site allocated was an entrance to the university courtyard at the architectural design campus at the University of Technology, Sydney. The overall duration of the project from inception to completion was two weeks. A strong focus on digital and physical prototyping ensured the feasability at various scales. Parametric modeling tools laid the foundations for the chosen design methodology and enabled a fast paced iterative process within a strong collaborative environment. The construction phase was a brief two day build upon which several physical constraints, such as the site boundary limitations, were resolved. The limited anchor points available on site heavily restricted the amount of variation in surfaces which could be achieved. Tables and benches formed the horizontal plane for the first set of points. The louvres adjoining the columns formed the vertical plane for the second set of points. Rope of different lengths and specifications were tested for efficiency, strength and aesthetics. The parametric model generated enabled an accurate estimation of the amount of material which would be required for the construction of the outcome at 1:1. The outcome of the project was reveiwed by several notable members of the international community of architects such as Donald Bates (LAB Architects), Jeffery Turko (Nekton Studio), Ian Maxwell (supermanouvre), Paul Loh (Power to Make) etc. enabling a wide array of expertise providing feedback and guidance throughout the project duration.

This project engages significantly upon the analysis and appreciation of construction methodology. The focus of construction analysis is a contemporary school building designed by McBride Charles Ryan. Complete sets of architectural and structural documentation as well as a geotechnical report, were provided with permission from the architects, to obtain a strong understanding of building components and specifications. A section of the building was to be represented as an axonometric detail drawing explaining all of the building components and construction phases from foundations to cladding and finishes, featuring architectural details such as vapour prevention and constructability details. A model was also constructed to reveal these elements exhibiting materiality and construction methodology. Relevant research was also conducted to obtain further insight into building code and standards. The by
results were the subject
successful as approved tutor and co-ordinator.
