DESIGN, DISCUSS, AND DEBATE STUDIO BRIEF The studio takes the current political climate as a backdrop both globally and locally as the impertus for architectural exploration and debate and make assertion thatArchitecture can be participant in defining critical public debate but it is usually complicit and rarely disobedient in its manifestation.

The studio will task students to engage critically in broader spectrum of social issues and visit, through the practice of design, a considered attitude towards them. Whether environmental , preservationist, political, ethical, or simply aesthetic. We submit that there is a need for Architecture to enforce upon itself a clear, delineated agenda and to explore the argument within itself as it informs the ethos of architecural practice. How students speak to and represent their work will also be a large topic of exploration.

Students will explore the idea of ‘doubling‘ or ‘embedding’. They will explore an approach to architecture where the response to client brief, context, and program are the mere scaffold for architectural investigation. Leading to an architecture that meets the expectation of client driven architecture (function, profit, public good, etc.) but also ‘stands up’ and takes its place in critical debate of issues that affect our cities and places.

REINTERPRETING OF HISTORY PROJECT PROPOSITION

Pentridge prison had been using as a tool to manipulate and rehabilation of the inmates. With the penal philosophy of “Separation and Silence�, the pentridge prison became a tool of psychological punishment for the prisoners.

This proposal aims to take on the historical site and reinterpretation it in a new way. History is a tool that has loong been used to control the narrative of the people and nation. However, selective preserving one period of time over another, leading to an emphasize of one culture over another.

Historical sites or places should be owned collectively that all the citizen can access and paint the place with their culture and identity from the owner of culture.

This proposal aims to create a difficulty whole that embrace the past rather than denying it.

Creating an inclusive environment that allows people of different to co-exist with the right to tell their own story apart form the mass narrative from the institution.

WEEK 1_DESIGN TASK RMIT SUPERSTOP DESIGNING THE FRONT DOOR As part of a Victorian Government intiative, a number of Super Stops were implemented throughout the city. These stops focused on prioritising the human experience over vehicular traffic, merged multiple stops into larger segments and gave the capacity for new places of identity.

Our first design challenge is to reconceive of the Super Stop infront of RMIT University as a collaborative effort of RMIT and the City of Melbourne (funded by the Victorian Government). The stop may now be thought of more as a Gateway from the North, not unlike the experience of entering the city from the south through iconic Arts Precinct.

The project should bleed the identity of RMIT, to give a new front door to the city, and to reflect how architecture can breath a new identity for place. place making and for the public usage of space, innovative or otherwise.

Tram network is a significant mode of transportation in Melbourne city. However, the accessisibility to transportation for disabile people is limited. On the week, we are proposing a network of tramstop that fully accessible for disable people and simulteneously use as gateway from the nort of Melbourne.

With this design, the tram station is intregated with the canopy and civic infrastructure. This allows city design to be oriented for universal accesibility that influence inclusive environment for the equality of all citizen.

The design of the superstop inspried from the intregation of civic infrastructure network to demonstrate the unify supervision of city design.

Currently, the policy and design strategy for disable people are formed by sepparate parties. This architecture stands up for the equality of accessibility, using the ramp and canopy that fully intregate into one entity.

SEPARATION AND SILENCE Pentridge Prison is an exemplify of a highly selective determining which problems they want to solve, realizing through a spatial organization and design of each division that influenced by penal philosophy of ‘Separation and Silence’.

The design of wall and partition in the Pentridge Prison allows the oversee to control and correct prisoners behaviour. The walls are used to limiting the social interaction, visibility, and accessibility.

REPETITIVE To homogenus prisoner into somebody, prisoners are named as a number and wore mask to cover their identity. The design of division cell by using repetitive technic and array them in a lienear manner. This influence the relationship between the prisoners and prison guards. Distributing mass of people into individuality.

VISUAL DISCONNECTION Pentridge prison turned a visual disconnection into a power to control prisoners.

This prevent prioner to act on their own determination, limiting the way they can express themself.

WEEK 2_DESIGN TASK REIMAGING A MEETING PLACE As part of a City of Melbourne initiative, Queen Victoria Market is undergoing significant change. A modernisation of logistics handling and trader storage is being delicately weaved into the northern of end of upper and lower market.

Whilst at the southern end, your site, the existing Queens street conditions is being transformed into a public realm designed to link the heart of the market to a new public park called ‘Market Square’ ( Current car park to the south of the main market sheds) .

This new space has been named ‘Market Cross’ . To enable the establishment of the cross, the existing cafe, trolley hire tenancy must be demolished, along with the exiting amenities building. In addition to these elements, a number of monuments and other public realm elements will need to be removed.

Our task is to re-imagine the cross, to reflect the complex and in some ways chequered history of this popular Melbourne meeting place.

The public statue is an artifact that articulate an understanding of who “we� are and making collective memories of the space. By passing it every day, we grow used to the spaces we inhabit. We stop seeing them. And we become used to the ideas sound us and stop questioning them.

My proposal is a cultural landscape that can be config and open for reorganising for multiple purposes. By challenging the idea of a statue that citizen usually held high as their pride memories that inaccessible and unable to be altered since it must be true.

This proposal would make the statue of John batman to be part of the public realm that people can inspect carefully and move around for other purposes. This would establish a new understanding of the relationship between ruler and citizen.

By attacking symbols of the past as part of fighting for honest history and re-establish the relationship between the ruler and the people, this will shift how individual and communities can interpreting their identity and understanding their history.

WEEK 2_RESEARCH TASK THE POLITICS OF SPACE

RISE OF DEMOCRACY The death of Ronald Ryan is the start of the abolition of the death penalty in Victoria. There was a big protest of thousands of people at the front gate of D Division. Capital punishment is the worst violation of human rights because the right to life is the most important, and capital punishment violates.

Although the protest may not stop Ronald from hanging, the abolition of the death penalty was adopted years later. The elimination of capital punishment was often due to political change and a sign when countries shifted from Authoritarianism to Democracy.

DIGITAL ZOO Jika Jika, often referred to as an electronic zoo, was designed as a sensory deprivation prison with psychological strategies and solitary confinement. The complete separation of prisoners and guards have harmful effects on prisoners and corrupting influence over the prison officers. the impact of the harsh high-security atmosphere and environment on both staff and prisoners produced polarised relationships and an ever-increasing spiral of tension.

Although it had been demolished, in 2005 Barwon prison was granted $11M to invest in high tech security prison. I think we need to state the consequence of Jika Jika more clearly so that the lesson from here is learnt. To ensure that, governments are not making the same mistakes all over again.

RMIT ARCHITECTURE_MAS_STAND UP_SEM 02 2020 I 21

PRISONERS LABOUR The intense physical and characteristic of Pentridge Prison are clearly from the bluestone bricks. The bricks have a value for the community and local people.

However, the product of bluestone walls is from the harsh prisoner labours who were cutting, breaking and hauling bluestone by hand. Not only the wall of Pentridge prison but also the Murray road bridge and Newlands road bridge on the west and north of the prison were built by the labour of the prisoners of Pentridge too.

They should be recognised for their contribution to the prosperity of Coburg community.

GENTRIFICATION This place has more value than developing into a horror house for people who try to find a ghost in the D Division. If we allow this to happen, people may have an incorrect aspiration of this place by focusing only on entertainment. When there is brutality, and inhumane events occur here.

WEEK 3_DESIGN TASK NEW HOTEL WINDSOR CHANGING VALUES & VALUABLE CHANGES The Hotel Windsor is one of Melbourne’s oldest luxury Hotels that is still in operation. Its walls have hosted dignitries and rocks stars as well as politicians and scoundrels from around the world.

The hotel is now dated and ‘bested’ by the newer contemporary offerings in town.

As a result the Hotel has been seeking to update and expand the to enable it to compete with its contemporary competitors. Your task is help create the hotels future whilst making an assessment of just how much of its history and physical presence is needed in this future. How you enable its long term usage or deal with dismantling elements of the existing hotel through ideas that may carry into the future expansion.

RMIT ARCHITECTURE_MAS_STAND UP_SEM 02 2020 I 25

The insertion of the new program into the existing historical site should allow a new opportunity where old and new can coexist together. On this exercise, we aim to gain accesible of public user to the preserved ballroom of Windsor hotel.

Windsor hotel is reowned for their relationship with famous people. It is the core value and identity of Windsor hotel.

We design a new hotel piercing into the current structure of hotel that would change two main functions. The first one is ‘Visual Connection’. This is done by open up the ground level that connect people from different side of the building to be visibled. The second thing is the ‘Connectivity to local artifacts’, linking this place to the local statues can embed this architecture into the urban fabric that semalessly stitch together.

With this way of design, we can implant the new intervention into the existing structure that allow new possibility and new meaning toward the site.

WEEK 4_DESIGN TASK PRESTON MARKET REDEVELOPMENT TOTAL CULTURE SHOCK Preston Market, sited in the same suburban development belt as Pentridge Prison, is faced with these challenges and more. The exisitng facility is an island within a carpark in one of melbournes most vibrant Northern suburbs. A surburb looking for it’s new 24hr beating heart. Developement is coming and a masterplan is needed.

The available space and context to transform Preston Market into a 24hr Publically utilised facility. Look for opportunities to double or embed ideas through program, form, spatial character, and function to create architectural outcomes that do not look to be ambiguously ‘flexible’ but instead create outcomes that latch onto and augment the multiplicity of use in the public realm and exploit these to foster a series of unexpected outcomes.

Preton market is famoused for its cultural diversity. This place has been a cultural community of Preston since it opening. The fix-loose architecture made of edges wall and space truss, give this place a condition where stall owners can decorate their own stalls that best represent their cultural and identity. with this understanding, the design for this new Preston market focuses on replication of this condition to enhance the cultural hub effect of this place.

Furthermore, the landscape patterns and transition areas at the edges of this site have been designed for a smooth transition between urban scale to architectural scale. Concentrating on the scale of spaces, pattern, structure.

WEEK 5_DESIGN TASK LANEWAY CITY Melbourne is known as a city of culture, food and laneways. The laneways and ‘little’ streets of Melbourne were designed as a resource to support the business functions of the main roads such as Collins, Bourke and Elizabeth Streets. Through adaptation, appropriation, opportunity and some policy changes, these small access ways have become the heart of Melbourne’s, Food, fashion and arts scene.

However, in recent years, profit focused development around these laneways has caused the erasure of much of the fine grain fabric that makes up these lanes and has replaced it with sheer ‘back faces’ of large tower developments, removing the opportunity for the adaptive reuse of these spaces to continue.

RMIT ARCHITECTURE_MAS_STAND UP_SEM 02 2020 I 43

This proposal focus on the modification of the existing structure. The demolision of walls and insertion of the canopy creates a condition where pedestrian who use this canopy can permeat into the existing building seamlessly.

The insertion of canopy allows the enclose building to adopt welcomeness into the enclose space. Fuethermorem this can be applied to the space in between the tweo solid masses.

When we demolish the wall on the first level, we can create a space in between that open for inhabitors to infll their own cultural and identity. The different architectural style in-between the two solid can be used to enhance the diversity and dynamic for the architecture of inclusion and diversity.

This proposal is an intervention that injects on to the existing. We stand for the inclusion between the past, the present and the future that embrace and support each other.

The periphery wall of Pentridge excludes itself from the nearby community. This proposal reconnects the Pentridge site to the local communities by organising the spaces that allow community connection from the middle town to downtown and from the east to west.

The boundary created by massing strategy creates multiple urban interiors between the heritage D Division building and the new interventions.

We aim to reinterpret history to create social reconciliation that does not deny the past but embracing it.

Historical buildings should not be excluded from the community, limiting the accessibility from the public.

Our proposal aims to create a smooth transition between the present and the past. Taking advantage of the existing D Division, the new intervention allows people to transition between interior and exterior. Creating a rich experience of occupying the heritage building and reinterpreting the value of its.

By removing some parts and adding new elements, the solidness of heritage building would turn into permeable walls that accessible for all the users.

Market laneway is the smallest and the most concentrated area of this project.

A marketplace is a place where people from the different area can learn about local history from the local people. The loose structure of the space allows stall owners to decorate the home that represents their identity. The rich and vibrant of the local culture would exhibit and transfer between the users of this space.

The government should use architecture for supporting people to tell their own story not for controlling the narrative of history.

the spatial organisation of this place creates a visual connection between the disconnected site. Our proposition aims to position itself as a vehicle of connectivity for the people. The visual connection and circulation crossing points are the primary tools we used to implement on this space as it would encourage people for social interaction.

The history of the place would deliver through residents and the passing by users, rather than mainstream narrative from historical buildings.

a pocket public space for outdoor activities. The Pentridge walls were used for exclusion and create a boundary between people. This proposal reinterprets the value and meaning of historical artifacts.

By injecting the new intervention, architecture can create an original condition that users can revaluation the history of exclusion to the present of inclusion for a more diversified society.
