University of Melbourne Bachelor of Environments, Architecture Major (graduating 2018)

I think that architecture shapes our daily life, our culture and society. I believe that it will also play a major role in shaping our future, and I strive to play a part in designing the future built environment.

to oval to oval

The University High School is well known for its high standard of education. To facilitate for their projected increase in numbers, they require a new sports department and VCE learning complex.

My design focuses on the concept of ‘emergence’; emergence of the school into the public realm and emergence of the student into the world.

EMERGENCE of the student

The program is based on Dr. Kenn Fisher’s research on pedagogy. He details different types of learning clusters and learning settings which encourage students to communicate with others, think critically and be independent.

Instructional: taught by teacher Practice-based: group work and project work Informal/Self-directed: Independent study and socialising

Instructional Learning Practice-based Learning Informal/Self-directed hierarchy of space from supervised learning to unsupervised learning

Page 6

Current Uni High students had also stated that the school does not provide space for senior students to feel independent. The senior common area is located on the second floor away from the other teaching spaces. This provides independent study spaces and a space to feel separate from the rest of the school.

Site: Merri Creek, CERES park Client: Friends of Merri Creek, small local spiders Groupmates (7 members): Arianna Garay, Sabrina Widjaja, Arwa Edris, Jacinta Chan, Adrian Chiodo, Sherry Li. Tutor: Dan Schulz Brief: (Re)Fuse - Non-human Citadel Our studio responded to the environmental crisis of the near future in which plants and animals struggle with the decline of habitat trees; our brief asks how digital design and fabrication can create a man-made habitat tree.

My team explored the idea of abstracting the habitable aspects of a dead tree (rotted log) and repeating it across a larger component to make an artificial eco-system for local small spiders.

1. Tree ring decay determined by amount of rainfall. More rainfall=stronger wood=less rotting. This created the patterns of the top of panels. Panel and gap widths were determined by yearly rainfall over 35 years.

CHAOS & CLARITY

Page 15

chaos & clarity Site: Herring Island Tutor: Sarah Kahn Brief: A Place for Keeping Secrets - something like a pavilion, on Herring Island This project explores the spatial relationship between three zones: below ground, ground and above ground.

The final composition should express the sequence, journey and connection between these zones. The pavilion must also facilitate the keeping or discovery of a secret.

My final design explores the idea of chaos and clarity which reflects how Herring Island is a quiet retreat into nature in the middle of a busy city. This is expressed through the disjointed and chaotic beams and pillars, which in turn create a chaotic journey through the space. The moment of clarity comes when they find their way into the cube which gives a retreat from the chaos. They find the pavilion’s secret, a time capsule, inside the cube; the capsule is metaphorically frozen in time like the cube is frozen in space.

Transference of Fear

proposal

Site: Human Groupmates: Joanna Tidy, Ope Olubodun (joined later), (past member: Brooke Zhang) Tutor: Joshua Russo Brief: Personal space (section/profile systems) This project explored the concept of personal space and how personal space is affected by different situations. The task was to express this concept into a tangible obejct on a person.

My group expressed the idea of psychological personal space and how this is affected by fear. Our chosen scenario involved a pedestrian paranoia as they walk the streets at night and encounter another stranger.

Our design illustrates this person’s desire to both hide from the stranger and scare them away; hence, the transference of their own fear onto the passerby.

main materials: rope, bamboo, tarpaulin and drum

We prioritised the use of vernacular material and construction methods. Farmers would be able to construct this themselves, giving them a sense of independence.

My group focused on Gangineni village, an agricultural society that is heavily dependent on groundwater for irrigation as rainwater is often insufficient. However, some farmers must pay for water access. Additionally, the rate of groundwater extraction had lead to depletion.

first design

Our project is a rainwater collection and storage unit. It consists of a wide funnel which would collect rainwater in monsoon season into a drum. This is flipped to become shade over the drum in dry seasons. The tap encourages farmers to use drip irrigation systems for water efficiency.

We aimed to alleviate the burden of water sourcing/ storage for the farmers, while also allowing the water table to recharge. Farmers would have their own personal water supply, increasing their water security. isometric

placement on the GATTU

Our initial idea focused on the efficiency in setting up/packing up the unit. The funnel unit can be setup, removed and stored easily and is held down by a boulder. However, this design would not withstand monsoon winds.

final design To improve stability in monsoon winds, PVC pipes are embedded into the GATTU for the bamboo poles to be slotted into.

Although this design may be harder to setup and store, it is more lightweight and stable than our first design.
