Site Area Victoria Park Development

QUT Kelvin Grove Campus

QUT’s Kelvin Grove Campus is to have a few proposed developments - Victoria Park Vision, the new Health & Wellness Precinct and the newly proposed Design building.

New Health and Wellness Precinct Heart of Kelvin Grove Campus Relationship

With the site integrated into the heart of the campus and the new Health & Wellness Precinct, the proposed building will also connect the existing lower parts of the campus.

CONTEXT : Site & Heritage Analysis

CONTEXT : John Dalton’s Architecture & Site Review

The early works of Dalton’s architecture moved from linear roof forms to a more steeped skillion roof form. playing with the levels (Musgrave, 2020). With ‘sun, shade and shadows’ an feature of delight in hiw work, while also designing for the climate (Tayla, 2004) using local materials and simple innovative design.

PROJECT : Student Residences - QUT Kelvin Grove Campus

Architect : John Harold Dalton

John Dalton a well-known for his works in Queensland and for creating the ‘Dalton Section’, emphasizing of roof forms in his later works straying away form the linear forms.

“SUN. SHADE. SHADOW.” (Dr. Elizabeth Musgrave,2020) played a big part emphasized in his work.

“... life in the sun is a reality we who are building the sunlight sense the space and joy. It is our delight. The magic of shade and shadow capture our senses and direct us to our purpose, which is to dispense comfort & happiness through useful form ...” (September 26, 2015) ‘On Architecture’ - John Dalton (1961) / Elizabeth Musgrave (Houses 102)

PROJECT : Melbourne School of Design (MSD), The University of Melbourne

Architect : John Wardle Architects (JWA)

Nader Tehrani (NADAAA)

MSD is able to retain and play on the idea improving heritage, adding on to a pristine facade of the old with modern archiotecture of today.

Elements of light are prominent in this building with its wooden framed skylight allowing light to dapple onto the main spaces in the building.

The use of perforated panels helps provide shade and passive cooling adapted to the climate.

The learning spaces are a central focus where all sides (and bottom) are exposed on all sides - a play on connection.

PROJECT : Abedian School of Architecture, Bond University

With open organic spaces both for learning and teaching the Abedian School of Architecture has a open layout providing a sense of connection between the spaces.

Well planned design solutions allow intricate details of walls and forms with regards to the lighting and the ventilation of the spaces adapting and utilising the form to support the function.

Architect : Gavin Robotham, CRAB Studio

m3architecture’s approach to the CLC ultilises simple forms and materials, having concrete columns/walls and steel frames.

Natural lighting comes from the skylight as well as the open facade feature allowing both privacy and transparency, further emphasized in the inner courtyard spaces that connect to the teaching/learning spaces.

“The firm listens, works through issues thoughtfully and considerately… I am constantly amazed and inspired by m3architecture’s creative flair – often delivering cost effective, clever solutions” (Amanda Bell

Principal Brisbane Girls Grammar School

PROJECT : Advanced Engineering Building, The University of Queensland.

Architect : HASSEL

Richard Kirk Architect

UQ’s ‘Advanced Engineering Building’ being one of the most envrionmentally building with the clever use of local materials and innovative design. With moveable terracota tiled facade that provides shade and cooling to the building throught the year helps with the need for mechanical cooling and energy consumption. The inclusion of skylights helps with natural lighting in the hall and atrium spaces.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN PROPOSAL : Climate & Environmental Response

Brisbane has a subtropical climate with warm or hot weather for most of the year. With 2,800 hours of sunshine annually, most rainfall is in summer - can be in the form of random thunderstorm and torrential rain (Taylor,2004).

Sub-Tropical designs should take advantage of orientation of the building, while also managing a good flow of air movement through cross ventilation, using of renewable materials that reduce energy consumption and improve insulation.

Creating a link between indoor and outdoor spaces, promotes shaded decks and balconies that take advantage of shade and breezes.

Concrete: is durable with low maintenance (does not rust, rot, or burn), also great at absorbing and retaining heat, which means it will increase energy efficiency of a building and reduce HVAC expenses. Its reflective properties will decrease air-conditioning costs in the hot summer months.

Steel: strong and flexible, can bend without cracking, which is another great advantage, as a steel building can flex when it is pushed to one side by say, wind, or an earthquake, has plasticity or ductility.

Wood: is a renewable building material that is able to dry out and become stronger as the heat increases. It can absorb sound and echoes, is resistant to electrical currents, exceptionally light in proportion to its tensile strength.

Glass: is a transparent material with the ability to resist deformation under loads, can make a green house effect trapping heat, is 100% recyclable, energy-efficient glazing incorporates coated (low-emissivity) glass to prevent heat escaping through the windows.
