This studio revolves around a focus on environmental change and ecological reserves.
Around a polluted dam, the studio offers various ideas and methods to drive an ecological change that could benefit those around.
Around the dam, this project was to create to structures above and below the surface, educating students within a ‘cave’, of mussels filtering pollutants in the water, as well as a pavilion allow social hangouts, discussions and gatherings.
This studio focuses on three project structures around the site of a walnut farm in Gapsted: an Airbnb for tourists; a decorative pavilion sculpture, and an onsen and sauna.
Following these structures, the project develops a narrative that explores methods of light and colour in architectural atmosphere.
The narrative follows a set of images provided describing the conditions for each structure in their respective order:
This studio designs a temporary structure that allows two programs to be held within. The idea is for the structure to adapt to different program conditions.
The project developed a temporary concrete panel design that arranged within the site’s coordinated grid, creating walls and eventually rooms that house programs of: accommodation, and a gallery.

4. Afterlife
After the two programs the studio develops a focus on the afterlife of the structure. What happens as when the lifespan of a structure, and its materials depletes?
This drawing (4) illustrates a ‘ruin’ of concrete panels. As the concrete ages, the more it is devoured by nature.
Collaborating with architectural office MA+Co, this studio focuses on social and affordable housing, revolving around a targeted vulnerable targeted user.
Considering the user, the studio integrates realworld strategies that intend to aid both the user and the surrounding community exploring in program and thresholds.
The project located in Collingwood targets elderly and unemployed women through the concepts of exposure and connectivity.

Unit ARC3102 Performance allowed students to learn fundamental knowledge in technical drawing and drafting using Northcote High School’s performing arts centre designed by KTA, as wells as exploring ideas and strategies for a more sustainable design.
Unit ARC3301 Communications covers Revit software, drafting and using communication techniques to describe an existing house, the Carlton House (2017) by Tom Robertson Architects, and designing an addition to the existing structure.
The proposed addition is an extended profile of the base Carlton House, serving as a sunroom, and pushing the means to capture as much light within the house.
The form and design was to blend in with the existing profile, while simultaneously classifying it as an addition, and hence the use of polycarbonate panels.
The sunroom is successful during Winter Solstice at 9-12pm.
Sliding doors makes the sunroom semi-outdoor. There is a strong emphasis on openess towards the natural environment, such as the group of trees on the slope of the hill.
Materiality in Task 1 saw the use of concrete, where in this Task was changed to fibre cement panelling, retaining also the brick parapet structure that is extended along with the addition.
Concrete slabwork, using thermal properties for passive heating.
Polycarbonate panelling contributing to light capture, and lightwork timber construction.
