4 Week 01 Minor Project 01
5 Week 01 Minor Project 01 notes on mapping
Hamilton, bounded and surrounded by the natural Grange Burns follows a certain grid located in the central of it.
The Melvile Oval not only becomes the central of the region but also the central of the larger surrounding provinces. It’s municipality are dense in the central and becomes less and less commercialised as one moves outwards from the region. However, still retains the rigid grid that overlays the donut site(s) in the extremity of the province.

In it’s streetscape, the site provides a collection of commercialised buildings that forms the historical factors present: greek, art-deco, victorian influences decorates the outser scapes of the donut site.

Week 02 Reflection
Based on acquired feedback, there is room for improvement on the research area of the project. It is to say that the project may benefit further from delving more into the locallity of Hamilton. Other than that, drawings of exisitng buildings may recquire more detail. As the project progresses, there is also a question fo boundaries, and what ifs posed in relation to the proposed masterplan on thestages.later Considerations such as reatinign existing buildings, having a position if some were to be demolished and posing the gallery as the ehart of Hamilton also comes to mind on moving forward.
14 Week 02 Grids Systems, Graphic Layout, Typography, Colour
15 Week 02 Minor Project 02
The site itself, perhaps due to being inhabited by franchisee giants, allows a number of warehouse structures to be constructed on site and therefore a number of industrial structures that presents the base materials of brick walls, pavers etc.

18 Week 02 Minor Project 02 Upon a macro look on the site’s landscape, the region is located in a Volcanic terain.
the site’s contour allows water retention in the big oval and due to the highly saturated townscape, pose to be a factor for the overall design; in that the structures in the site should be loosely allocated to allow water flow.

24 Week 03 Minor Project 02 chosen iteration
The masterplan proposes an insight into the context by mirroring / reflecting the back houses of the facades indise the donut site; overlaid on top of a contrasting almost diagonal landscape strategy. In doing so, the proposal hopes to respond to the site and also gives into the existing contour as if a way to provide for a more natural water flow throughout the buildings on site. Other than that, poses an intervention for the set grid system.

28 Week 03 Minor Project 02 feedback
Here, there is a question of utilising the fall of the landscape, whether if it was better to cut and fill the land scape to suit the building or raise the building to be on top of it. what are the negotiations betweenlevels? how does one use the fall to advantagetheir? how does the fall relate to the buildings’ overall concept ?
With regards program, the proposal may benefit from further researching into the context of the adjacencies as well as thinking of the operations of the buildings’ back of houses and front of houses.
Week 03 reflection
The landscape would then play into the key factor of relationship between spaces as in this aprticular project, the almost diagonal entity was proposed to be a courtyard that links between buildings.
30 Week 04 Mid Semester dunot site + buildings in context
31 Week 04 Mid Semester main gallery + masterplan
Upon further look into the existing exhibitions, the gallery is able to apply designated, more tailored spaces into the plan. On top of that, the gallery proposes a serries of exhibition spaces to pay tribute to the local context: the ‘local’ space, ‘aboriginal’ art and culture etc.

The plan iterations are variations of strategies that focuses on finding an underlying geometry inside the figure ground as well as some that looks into how the building may further give into the diagonallity of the contour.
35 Week 04 Mid Semester schematic masterplan + concept
Starting from the gallery, the proposal locates the New Hamilton Gallery as adjacent to the oval and the street in hopes of connecting with the existinggallery.
A performance space becomes the conjunction between the gallery and the artist’s disctrict to allow for easy circulation; in which location is also appropriate for the living quarters due to its’ more private, ‘tucked-in’ nature.
On the south, is the sommercial laneway district that proposes to mimic the existing conditions of the commercial area within its’ typology, building languuage and urban configuration; located within an existing laneway with an existing defined entry to site.

Week 05 Reflection some questions post-mid semester feedback: what are some factors that are working with the concept ? what does the shifting of entries pose to the overall project ? how can the forecourt benefit from low walls ? what are some of the physical connections in between buildings ? how can the typology work better in terms of operations ?

53 Week 05 Section Task
one of the significant sectional area of the gallery is teh entrance from Lonsdale Street that captures the contrasting elements that is the plan of the building(s) - in this case the gallery, that is aligned with the grid and the diagonal entry that is aligned with the pattern of the contours.
54 Week 05 Case NarboStudyviaMuseum
55
In relation to the building’s facade treatment, the proposal opts for a simplified material pallete that hopes to ground the building into Thesite. Narbo via Museum by Foster + Partners boasts an almost monolothic but varied material pallete as well as a strong expression in structure. The larger concrete beams that span along the building would provide language as well as structural skylights that will enable a sense of grandoise as applied to the proposal. With regards strcuture, the spanning beams also frees up the main gallery sapce of any collumnar distractions, making the space ever so multifuncional; as it is fit to allow art forms of any kind into the exhibition
56 Week 05 Case NordicStudyPavillion
In addition, it also features a unique fabric ovehanging along the concrete beams of the roof, a means to collect water as well as a design expression to the overall Thespace.proposal further incorporates the roof expression as well as the relatively muted colour pallete into the building in hopes of further showing a monolothic entity that is the gallery; wanting to stand out in the passing of traffic.
57
With a much calmer material pallete, the Nordic Pavillion features a more earthy approach to the space; a more muted materiality that showcases concrete, timber and large glass that adds to its’ transparency.

Reflection In attempt to signify the gallery, the building that reads monolithic with the aid of a simple material palette may look simple but its’ simplictic finish may be complicated to realise in actual Findingpractice.the balance between showcasing the rawness of the construction material and hiding the details of the joints would help in envisioning a building of simple nature.

Reflection
In order to create a minimal space, so should the details be minimally represented and helps drive the attention away from the over-lined practicallity.
Instead allow a focus on how the ambiance of a certain space is.
The design of the entry ramp + stairs creates a meandering circulation that poses as a practical measure but also as a strategy to make people slow down and enjoy the space. Though in it’s realisation needs more work in the operations.

71 Week 05 axonometric plan of main gallery
72 Week 05 Axonometric(s)
The axonometric shows how the roof design inspired from the case studies are going to be the main strategy that ‘unifies’ the language of the galleries. Starting from the main exhibition of the main gallery adjacent to Lonsdale street, through to the central performance building onto the smaller gallery adjacent to the souvenir/information booth. While to the south, the massing of the commercial laneway would mimic the design language of the typical Hamilton houses and warehouses and align itself to continue a linear circulation off of the south entry of the donut site. The artist district borrow the material of Hamilton: red brick and contrasts it with the gallery’s main material pallete : concrete.
