La Fête in the Oeuvre 2023-2024 Master’s Thesis

La Fête in the Oeuvre Online Publication

In 1967, Henri Lefebvre published “The Right to the City,” critiquing modern capitalist society for prioritizing profit over the social needs of urban life. In response, he envisioned a utopian city centered on the Oeuvre, a collective creation by all citizens that embodies the city’s identity and restores unity.

My thesis explores the concept of the Oeuvre, bridging the gap between Lefebvre’s sociological ideas and architectural design by producing a methodology which priorities social wellbeing. This thesis’ title, “La Fête in the Oeuvre,” translates to “a celebration in the city.” It represents a design and a process worth celebrating, holding the architects responsible for creating a work of art in the city that accentuates differences and celebrates diversity, allowing the Oeuvre and its inhabitants to flourish. The research reminds us the city will continually evolve, so it is up to each one of us to guide the changes for the better, into an Oeuvre.

Dérive : Analysis of Social Spaces

The Perceived Space Analysis

The Conceived Space Analysis

The methodology started with a deep understanding of Wellington’s social spaces.

The analysis conducted on the three dimensions of space from Lefebvre “The Production of Space”; the perceived, the conceived and the lived. Each dimension of space had its own process of collecting data and producing a design outcome and informing the next dimension of space.

The lived space is where the analysis concludes with spatial narratives as a culmination of the previous studies as a holistic view of the social space. These spatial narratives highlight a problem or an opportunity within Wellington and guides the design brief for the next stages of the thesis.

The Great Divide Spatial Narrative Extraction Video

Frank Kitts Park

In searching for a holistic view of the city, we discover the city to be divided in two.

One a complex city and the other a nature filled waterfront. The unavoidable divider between these two extravagant aspects is the vehicle-dominant highway, Jervois Quay. an inevitable blockade across Wellington.

Road to Nowhere Spatial Narrative Extraction Video

Lady Elizabeth Lane

The waterfront experience unfolds through a scenic walkway commencing at Miramar, near the Airport. The walkway is enriched by all the social practices on the waterfront journey into the city centre, culminating in an unexpected and disappointing endpoint—a desolate parking lot.

Spatial Follies : Concept Design The concept design is driven by a central question: “Can architectural forms impact, influence, and shape space and spatial practices?” by designing Spatial Follies directly respond to the Spatial Narratives. Influenced by the Follies at Parc de la Villette, which share the likeness in name, this part of the thesis has taken the programme out of the equation to truly investigate the architectural forms’ effects on the urban fabric and inhabitants.

Framing Chaos Plimmers Steps Behind the Facade Full Concept Design

Nestled within the intricate fabric of the city, Framing Chaos acts as a sanctuary for social interaction. This design drew inspiration from traditional Japanese tea houses. This structure provides the inhabitants the control to take in the complexity of the city.

Traditionally a place of formality and structure labelled he heart of the central business district of Wellington, this space provides the opposite, encouraging adults o embrace their child-like intuition, utilising the theory of play to ostracise the spatial practice of the march.

Full Concept Design

This design aims to glamorise and simplify the passage from the waterfront to the city while understanding the importance of the city’s infrastructure. The structure lifts Jervois Quay into the sky, creating an ample social space underneath.

La Fête in the Oeuvre proposal centred around the main building at the walkway’s end. An extension of the city that looks to re-establishes Wellington’s Oeuvre. This space focuses on social interaction by allowing the architecture to accentuate differences and celebrate diversity. This design aims to spark redevelopment of the Wellington port into a high-density, inhabitantfocused community.

Harmonious Design This design proposes a multifaceted structure that seamlessly integrates commercial, residential, public, and civic programmes into a mixeduse building in the Wellington CBD. The design intends for the public and commercial spaces to work together and enhance the inhabitant’s experience. The commercial stores will utilise the public seating for their customers, and the commercial stores, library and community centre will encourage the public spaces to be populated.

Resurgence to Cuba 2022 ARCI 411

Resurgence to Cuba Complete Project

This project is a redesign of Cuba Street and it starts as a question of “How can the people of Wellington return to doing social rituals like dining out and experiencing retail during the times of COVID-19 pandemic?” It aims to to help the businesses on Cuba street to operate safely during and after the pandemic to recover the economy and give the people of Wellington a place of belonging and a place for well being.

Concept Store Diagram For this project I listed all the shops on Cuba Street and put them into different types of categories from retail stores, restaurants and more. Then I analysed the movement of workers, customers and any other which highlighted where the connection which spread COVID-19 and redesign the store which would minimise contact between people.

Reading Area

Activity Area One strong way to sell products is to have people spend time in their store but because of COVID it is not possible. Creating large and open areas and having the stores surround this space so when you are using the activity area it feels like you are still in the store. I want to think of these Areas as destinations and the Shops that are in between them is the journey and a pathway that connects each Activity Area.

Activity areas act as destinations and shops as the journey to create more movement in the site and even access the activity area through the store.

4 Powhiri to Aotearoa 2021 ARCI 312 - P2

Powhiri to Aotearoa Complete Project

This Project is a redesign of Te Papa, National Museum of New Zealand.

My design studies the process of the powhiri, a traditional Maori welcoming ceremony. I wanted to create a space that celebrates all of New Zealand by using the powhiri as the process that will welcome people from all walks of life. In my design I have emphasised connections and paths in my form to recreate the amazing sensation of a traditional powhiri. The powhiri is a process of removing tapu (scares) from the visitors. I want to show the connections built by this process from whatever path of life you are from. This building represents New Zealand as the welcoming country it is but in our traditional way. The powhiri today is used very commonly in New Zealand and has been a part of many, I feel there is nothing that would represent the kindness and true nature of New Zealand.

Powhiri Process The powhiri is broken up into 6 stages; the karanga (call), the whaikorero(speeches), the waiata (song), koha (exchanging gift) the kariru (shaking of hands), the kai (food). All these has been representedby the programme of the museum toreplicate the process of the powhiri tothe experience of TeblockPapa museum.

Ngaio Library Complete Project

This Project is a redesign of the Ngaio library. This design studies House N.A by Sou Fujimoto and the idea of being playful, this idea looks at the floors of the house as being in a tree where you have both privacy and openness. This idea is deployed in the reading area of the design to have different levels and uses a frosted exterior shell to allow soft light into the design acting as the leaves.

6 The Turtle & the Shark

2021 ARCI 312 - P1

The Turtle & The Shark Complete Project

This project is to design the National Fale Malae in Frank Kitts Park, Wellington. The main goal of this design I pulled from the brief is to create an iconic Polynesian space which will encourage the growth of their community in New Zealand. Being an immigrant myself I know it is hard to find something in a new country, something that is truly yours. Even when I fully embraced the New Zealand culture for me there was always something missing. So I wanted to create a space that is iconic to Pasifika people and bring the culture here so in this space they will never feel like that.

42

Structural Model Scale @ 1 : 50 44

Design Narrative My design of the Fale Malae is inspired by the Samoan myth “The Turtle and the Shark.” In this myth, a blind woman and her granddaughter, facing a severe famine, decided instead of starving to death they jumped into the sea and let it decide their fate. As they swam to the surface they transformed into a turtle and a shark.They swam from village to village, seeking refuge, but were turned away until they reached Vaitogi in American Samoa.

There, Chief Letuli and his people welcomed them with kindness, offering food and clothing. Grateful, the turtle and the shark vowed to return when called upon. My design seeks to embody the warmth and hospitality of Vaitogi, bringing the Pasifika community together.
