TITLE
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The curriculum of the University of Adelaide's School of Architecture has taught me to approach design with empathy, focusing on crafting environments that seamlessly integrate sustainability and well-being. This involves thoughtfully engaging with the tapestry of history, society, culture, and ethics. Throughout my education, I have developed a pragmatic approach to design through research, seeking to create spaces that enhance the environment and quality of life for the community.
I am interested in furthering my education in the architectural industry to enhance my current knowledge through practical experience. Additionally, I aim to strengthen my capabilities as a designer of built fabric.
This portfolio contains a selection of the most significant projects that I have designed throughout my time while at the University of Adelaide.
Selected Works 3
RESTAURANT RESPITE
Developed Skills: Climate responsive design, Thermal comfort investigation, Grasshopper, Ladybug (plug-in), 2-D documentation, 3-D rendering, Adobe-suite rendering.
This project focuses on climate-responsive design and community enrichment. The primary goal is to mitigate direct sun exposure during hot periods, ensuring occupant comfort and reducing reliance on HVAC systems. The project envisions a culinary school, restaurant, and accommodations, with a substantial portion earmarked for individuals facing financial hardship, aligning with the client's wishes. A core feature is integrating cooking classes, fostering skill development and job reintegration, complemented by onsite restaurant and cafe training.
Notably, the Ladybug plugin for Grasshopper is used to optimise the building facades for sunlight capture and mitigation, as well as optimise sunlight distribution between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., addressing neighbour concerns while ensuring ample light for essential green spaces. Additionally, weekly soup kitchen events will underscore the project's communityoriented outreach. This concept harmonises design with sustainability and compassion, offering a holistic approach to the built environment.

LIVING LUNAR LABORATORY
SHACKLETON CRATER, LUNAR SURFACE, THE MOON
Developed Skills: Myco-architecture, Symbiotic design, Biodesign, Exhaustive investigation, Space-syntax, Human-scale design, Macro-scale planning, Digital technical documentation, 3-D rendering, Adobe-suite rendering.
This architectural concept investigates the integration of plant life within lunar habitats, focusing on their multi-faceted roles, including sustainability and psychological well-being. Adopting a 'closed-loop' approach, it emphasises the interdependence of humans and plants in space and delves into 'living architecture' possibilities using mycelium and algae as renewable construction materials.
Human history underscores our link to plant cultivation for habitation, and this project extends this connection to space. Fungal spores, particularly radiotrophic fungi, are harnessed for radiation protection through versatile mycelium-based structures. Cladosporium sphaerospermum and Pleurotus ostreatus merge to form a radiationresistant, multifunctional material offering fire and water resistance, oxygen and grey water recycling, and applications in textiles and furnishings.
The design features self-inflating modules, assembled using lunar rovers and supported by regolith pits. The habitat includes green spaces for fresh produce and nature immersion, promoting well-being and harmony with the lunar environment.

SCARE TACTICS
293 ST VINCENT STREET, PORT ADELAIDE, SA 5015
Developed Skills: Adaptive-reuse design, Grasshopper, Digital technical documentation, 3-D rendering, Adobe-suite rendering.
A re-imagination of the Marine & Harbours Building, Port Adelaide, from a historical industrial site into an alternative concept beyond a hotel integration, utilising speculative design to create a proposition that challenges conventional norms.
In vocations such as security, combat, and emergency services, making considered decisions under stress is crucial. Real-life scenario simulations offer invaluable training tools to improve outcomes and acclimatise individuals to demanding environments. Outside of such workforces, this facility can be utilised to improve compassion and empathy through the simulation of near-death experiences. 80% of participants in neardeath experiences report a permanent improvement in mood and emotions, socially engineering individuals to be more caring and equipped for high-stress scenarios.
The facility offers a variety of environments equipped with devices to simulate tactile and audio-sensory experiences, along with virtual reality headsets for visual experiences. This combination appropriately stimulates the body's natural response system, allowing individuals to become comfortable with repeated exposure.

WEST TERRACE COMMUNITY HALL
135 - 139 WEST TERRACE, ADELAIDE, SA 5000
Developed Skills: 3-D representation, Construction visualisation, Rhino modelling, Enscape rendering, Revit documentation.
This submission was for a group assignment, which focussed on structural concepts and building envelopes. My primary role in the team of 3 was to create a visually compelling prototype, showcasing the truss space frame structure and concrete glass reinforced concrete panel facade of the group's chosen proposal. Along with the prototype, I was also in charge of Revit documentation, creating a drawing set including plans, elvations and sections.
The projects' brief was for a proposal to design a flexible significant cultural building as a 'Gateway to the City,' due to the sites location being identified as a key site for opportunity ini the Adelaide City Development Plan. The program was to consist of four non-specified multi-function spaces - exhibitions, workshops, events, etc., hosted within a five-storey structure. Cores and circulatory spaces needed to comply with Australian Building Code.

EARLY LEARNING CENTRE
Developed Skills: Quick-sketching, Revit modelling, Revit documentation, services mapping.
Tasked with producing a complete set of technical drawings for an early learning centre, with a focus on accurate construction methods and correct applications of the Australian National Construction Code. It was required to assume 3 roles during this project; architect, structural and services consultant, to present an integrated, optimised solution. A preliminary set of drawings containing elevations and floor plans were provided by Russel and Yelland Architects, void of all details.

INGKARNI WARDLI
INGKARNI WARDLI BUILDING, ADELAIDE, SA 5000
Developed Skills: Identifying construction methods, hand drafting, Revit modelling, Revit documentation.
Choosing one of three sites to analyse around the University of Adelaide, the cantilevered stairway to the Ingkarni Wardli building posed an interesting problem due to a lack of obvious structural members and its discreet construction method, concealing many of the details of the stairway.
