ANTI FACADISM !!!

A radical critique of Facadism and questioning the historical architectural values worth preserving in the heritage listed ‘Job Warehouse’ building on Bourke Street.

Examining the expansive and eccelctic history of the site helped uncover two very key spatial features that existed during 1880.

There was a clear existence of a corridor linking Crossley St and Liverpool St along with a communal courtyard on the back side.

Their coexistence entail a more fragmented organization of spaces that provides a more engaging experience for both the public and the tenants.

However, these inherent spatial qualities were blocked out as the site matured to form four shop front blocks. With the awareness of porosity in mind, I wanted to both reference and extend these spatial qualities that slowly developed in this site through these void spaces.

The existing internal walls were retained and the external wall is demolished in the pursuit of creating an architecture that expresses it’s contrast to it’s predecessor while simultaneously translating the historical use of voids and transitional spaces to enhance pedestrian engagement, championing that experience a something more valuable and worthy of preserving rather than the typical approach of Facadism.

TOO GOOD TO WASTE A waste management network set out across two existing decomissioned power-plants in Latrobe Valley; which sorts out the municipal waste from the city into recyclable products that are upcycled by exercising a scheme of clever adaptive re-use.

The rich coal mining past of the Latrobe Valley has ended! what could be the future?

Welding & Soldering

This project tries to answer this by ambitiously establishing a waste management system that reinterprets the Hazelwood power plant as a re-purposed sorting Plastic factory with an interactive learning space. The Yallourn power station is also repurposed as a Waste incineration plant, a bottle making factory and an open Bar that serves filtered CO2 for their carbonated drinks.

This manifests itself by merging the utilitarian role of a waste management facility along with tourism and education that seeks to inform the public and raise awareness of our consumption habits.

Plan | MUMA Art Collection Center | Comissioned Work.

MUMA Art Collection Center I was comissioned for this project for the Monash University Museum of Art - a mix between a library or archive of artwork wiithin a learning facility for students and curators alike.

Renders produced for the MUMA Art Collection Center.

NOTE | For this comission, I have conceptualised and designed the plan and produced images to present a vision of how this space could fuse the study of art and it’s curation.
