Preliminary Hypothesis

Bluestone is a unique character of Melbourne that became a vital part of the urban fabric, and any other material cannot replace it. Residents carried out a campaign to protect their bluestone laneways (Trigg, 2017) when the local council had proposed to alternate bluestone laneways with asphalt and reinforced concrete in many areas of building and engineering since from the early 20th century (Vines, 1993). Meanwhile, bluestone is tough enough to preserve the geological heritage as a building and construction material. The council realized the original bluestone was a tougher material and upgraded the Melbourne CBD with bluestone tiles after lots of asphalt was cracked and damaged in 1970, which paved in 1956. (Batham, 2019) The majority part of the city of Melbourne was built out of the bluestone in ways of pavement, tiles, gutter, pitcher, wall and block; geological history and principles are embedded in these building bluestones(Brock & Semeniuk, 2017). My new bluestone museum is proposed to be an artifact to exhibit and help the public to understand the geological significance to prevent the loss of stone heritage.

Bluestone is the cooled lava that formed from continous volcanoic activity. From this diagram, I focus on the dark pink dots, which represents volcano with mainly lava. These locations indicate how did lava flow from volcanos to the point where merri creek and yarra river meet, they could be the area that bluestone might occur.

This splitting dike proved that this part is planar feature. A dike is a younger basalt layer inbetween older basalt layers.

This cliff's location is at Merri Valley, which besides Merri creek. This cliff consists of cracked and jointed basalt columns that are formed by cooled lava. Basalt columns at the middle part have collapsed by the weathering and then dropped into the stream. Some vertical fractures at the top of the cliff started to be leaning, and they formed a radial pattern.

Fig. d The vesicle rich pipe occurred here, perhaps one layer of the bluestone.

Preliminary Hypothesis

Exhibit - 2nd Collection- Bluestone Ballast Bluestone Ballast

Bluestone ballast will be the second collection in my museum because the history of this material could explain how the infrastructure had been affected when the human activities changed the bluestone ballast's form.

- Quarried blustone is mostly used for ballast in its various forms.

- During Victoria’s early dates, importations of supplies, immigrations brought majority of ships to Melbourne. (Gary, 1993)

- These ships had to return home with little or no cargo.

- Blocks of bluestone in 35 sqaure centimeters were ideal for ballasting and could be reused for building or paving stones. (Gary, 1993) For example, bluestone from Footscray Quarry has been used in Trafagar Square in London. (Melnourne’s living museum)

- Another form of bluestone ballast was later used for the crushed rock foundations of roads and beds of railway tracks. (Gary, 1993)

Preliminary Hypothesis

Precedent - Section

Reflection: Zeitz Museum was built on a exisitng building. Its atrium was designed through trimming the existing concrete tubes. I like the way that trimed the concrete tubes with a oval shape, which can attract the visitor come into the atrium and help them explore the interior of the museum in a distinct way. Also, this fabulous atrium become a good threshold between the entry and the exhibition space due to this trimming technique.

Exhibit Space 1 - Exterior appearance

I aim to design a dark space for the raw bluestone exhibition.

Preliminary Hypothesis

Exhibit Space 1 - Interior Inspired by Zeitz Museum's beautiful atrium, which was carved out from a existing monumental structure. This exhibition space's will be like a tunnel that carved out from the groups of bluestone to approach the layering patterns inside the stone. Meanwhile, these patterns can directly tell the geological principles and history to the visitors, consequently, this space from my new museum would become an artifact to exhibit.

Preliminary Hypothesis

Site Location Selection 7-9 Hosier Ln, Melbourne VIC 3004 I chose the site, which located at the intersection of Russell Street and Flinders Street.

Here are some reasons below: - Its surrouding buildings decided the boundary for the site.

- This site besides one famous bluestone laneway with graffiti in Melbourne.

- It is opposite to the federation sqaure, meanwhile, it is opposite to the Ian Potter Centre.

However, this site has several potential constraints that need to be considered in the future design process. The truck might not be able to get access to the museum because of the narrow bluestone laneway; this site would be dark because the shadow generated by these surrounding buildings.

Emotion

Will exhbit natural bluestones through highlighting their texture and colour. For example, the wall of the ground floor will use the dry stone wall technique to better keep natural bluestone's texture, form and colour.

The stone crusher acts as an emtional charactor from bluestone's history and manufacture process. I will choose several components from the stone crusher that respond to the architecture. For example, the window and facade of the museum would be inspired by the steel structure that belows to the stone conveyor, because of its light feature.

Education This part will exhibit two parts, the first one is bluestone's history that derived from the timeline diagram. The second part will exhibit the wicked problem that embeded in the bluestone history - quarry holes. The landscape in Victoria changed a lot because of the bluestone quarries. Some quarry holes have been filled with rubbish and it made the ground unstable, this type of ground is not suitable for the further development as well. And this part of the museum will tell poeple although the excavation of bluestone is helpful for the urban development and the bluestone become a vital charactor of urban fabric in Melbourne. We still need consider how to confront the tension relationship between the excavated landscape and urban development.

Consequently, my project will collect and use recycled bluestone to respond to this wicked problem.

I started with the circulation for the visitors from underground through the bluestone manufacture process, beacause it can generate a immersive experience for the visitor through the space is always binded with the content tightly.

What I want people to understand?

We can see and touch the bluestone in Melbourne every day before lockdown, but few people know how did people put effort to fabricate bluestone from a natural form in quarry to an architectural component or the urban fabric.

Bluestone excavation will be a bad thing when people did nothing to improve this situation. At the beginning of the excavation history (Vines et al., 1993), usually were prisoners working at quarries with simple tools and a little gunpowder, plus the strict management and heavy workload generated their negative emotion (Trigg, n.d.). Rocka had attacked one inspector general named John Price from prisoners; afterwards this case affected the surrounding residents’ mood during that time. Nowadays, the work situation becomes much better since a lot of work has been done instead of the machine; for example, the stone crusher can crush stone and categorize them precisely into several groups (2020). In the perspective of the environment, quarry holes changed the landscape a lot, and it became a big issue from the bluestone excavation (Brown, 2014). The ground at quarries is not suitable for further development since some quarry holes were usually filled with rubbish and it made the ground unstable. However, people put effort to improve this situation by building some abandoned quarries into parks, gardens and reserves.

Besides, using recycled bluestone can reduce quarry holes in the future (Quarries and a Nature Reserve in Yarraville, 2014).

Is bluestone a good material/ why or why not?

Bluestone is a good material since it varies in forms for different purposes. Foundations of some buildings in Melbourne were made of bluestone before the concrete.

Basalt was used as the ballast on ships during Victoria’s early days (Vines et al., 1993). Bluestone drywall helped pastoralists to protect their farm in the 1860s and 1870s (Trigg, n.d.). In contemporary buildings, bluestone is widely used for roof and exterior walls in ways of shingle and cladding. I believe bluestone can do more than that in the future.

Applying cast basalt to the interior surface of the equipment to resist rust and make their life longer (Cast Basalt Lined Pipes And Fittings, n.d.).

Museum of bluestone is proposed to be an artefact to exhibit with bluestone ramp, cladding, shingle and casting basalt tiling. Meanwhile, it can tell people that bluestone excavation will be a bad thing when people did nothing to improve this situation; and bluestone is a good material so that we believe it can do more for the city in the future.

Collection Research Tools used in quarry - the originial way to open the ground

Many small quarries had been opened up from 1850s and people started to excavate the raw stone by hand with a little amount of gunpowder, simple timber cranes and a horse dray. Except of these, they used some small tools, for instance, inserted the iron wedges into the cracks in the stone.

Visitors could learn the history about bluestone excavation and how people excavated the raw bluestone previously through viewing these series of tools.

Collection Research Casting Basalt

- Casting basalt provides the high abrasion resistance so that it is usually used for some euipments' surface to make their life longer.

- Basalt can be melted and then casted into different forms to approach distinct functions.

For instance, applying casting basalt tiles onto the floor to refelct the idea of museum itself could become a collection during the exhibition.

Progressive Test: Week 11

Feedback: - How to display through the ramp underground? Maybe exhibit different collections at the underground space.

- From the plan, the width of the ramp could be different.

- Wall could be slightly thicker when it goes down, thickest at the bottom.

- Add dash line between different soil layers and annotion. Soil profile part could be added with some rubbish. (Have fun with the drawing.)

- Everything exhibited will be in red colour.

- Add people.

- Design the lift.

- Could add one person outside the museum, look down and up through the window.

Render Test: Week 14 Lighting in Exhibition

Firstly, I only applied the lighting above the collection but the result looks dark.

Secondly, I added some more lightings below the machine and increased the intensity of the background light, however the inside of the machin still looks dark.

Finally, I applied a diagonal lighting that is adjcent to the machine to light up the interior of the machine.

Render Test: Week 14 Lighting in Exhibition

This corridor might be dark for the exhibition.

So I added the lighting at the edges of the mesh corridor.
