T H E S I S S T A T E M E N T THE PLATFORM OF 3-DIMENSIONAL DYNAMISM ON FITZROY

IN 21ST CENTURY ARCHITECTURE EPOCH, HOUSING DOES NOT (WANT) TO ACT AS A MERE LIVING MACHINE. THE NEEDS OF FUTURE USERS SEEK TO REDEFINE THE NOTION OF “LIVING”, IT IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE: A HYBRID LIFESTYLE WHERE MOST OF HUMAN’S LIFE ASPECTS ARE ENGAGED AND OCCURRED SIMULTANEOUSLY, YET HARMONIOUSLY. HOW? THE ROLE OF AN ARCHITECT IS BEING QUESTIONED AS AN INNOVATOR. WHAT IS THE INNOVATION? THIS THESIS DEPICTS A MANIFESTO OF ARCHITECTURE AS A PLATFORM OF PROGRAMS HYBRIDISATION, AS WELL AS HUMAN’S INTERRELATIONSHIP IN A 3-DIMENSIONAL SPACE. A PLATFORM THAT BECOMES A CATALYST TO A SITE, WHERE IT GIVES BACK WHAT IT TAKES FROM THE SITE. AN ARCHITECTURE THAT INFLUENCES AND ATTRACTS ITS SURROUNDING IN A RIPPLING MANNER, NOT A LINEAR MANNER. FITZROY, SPECIFICALLY TO OUR SITE, IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF LINEAR AND CONVENTIONAL LIVING STYLE. THE SITE IS BOUNDED BY FOUR MAIN ARTERIES: JOHNSTON ST, BRUNSWICK ST, SMITH ST, AND ALEXANDRA PARADE, WHICH IS AN EXCLUSIVE / LINEAR ARTERY. IT IS ALSO SITUATED AMONG AN URBAN FABRIC CHARACTERISED A STATIC URBAN FABRIC, SUGGESTING THE PROJECT TO RE-ADDRESS AND EXPLORE ITS URBAN GESTURE. THE THESIS WILL INVESTIGATE THE NOTION OF PROVIDING A 3-DIMENSIONAL DYNAMIC PLATFORM. AN EXPERIMENTATION OF INTRODUCING A “NEW” URBAN GESTURE TO FITZROY WILL BE CONDUCTED, WHILE CLOSELY TIGHTEN IT WITH FITZROY IDENTITY.

THE PROGRAMMATIC ANALYSIS WAS TAKEN IN ORDER TO FURTHER EXPLORE AND UNDERSTAND THE SIZE OF NEIGHBOURHOOD BUILDING. THIS ANALYSIS WAS ALSO BENEFICIAL TO FATHOM DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROGRAMS THAT HAPPEN IN A SINGLE BUILDING. DIFFERENT BUILDING HAS A PARTICULAR PROGRAM. THE AIM IS TO REVEAL VARIOUS KIND OF PROGRAMS THAT POSSESSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HYBRIDISED.

UNIVERSAL HQ BUILDING, OR UNIVERSAL CITY AS DESCRIBED BY THE ARCHITECTS, IS A CENTER OF BUSINESS DISTRICT WITHOUT A CITY. THE PROJECT SEEKS TO DISSEMINATE MYRIAD FUNCTIONS ACROSS THE SITE. ALTHOUGH THE PROGRAMS ARE DISTRIBUTED “POLITELY” INTO SEPARATED TOWERS; VIRTUAL, CIRCULATION, COLLECTIVE, AND EXECUTIVE, THERE IS A CONNECTOR, CORPORATE BEAM, ACROSS THESE TOWERS TO UNIFY THEM INTO A SINGLE NEW ENTITY - WHOSE FINAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE SPECULATIVE. THE FINAL BUILDING TYPOLOGY WAS DERIVED VIA A PROFOUND INVESTIGATION OF ITS STIPULATED DIVERSED PROGRAMS. THE CO-EXISTENCE OF THESE PROGRAMS HAS CRAFTED A NEW ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY, CHALLENGING THE STEREOTYPICAL TYPOLOGY OF AN OFFICE.

TRIGGERED BY THE PONDERMENT OF GENERIC OFFICE BLOCKS AND VERTICAL EXTRUSION OF TOWERS, OMA ENTREATS TO RE-INNOVATE THE TYPOLOGY OF OFFICE BLOCK: A SERIES OF HORIZONTAL VOLUMES, PROVIDING THE NECESSARY FLEXIBILITY FOR THE TOWERS, WHILE MAINTAINING ITS SINGLE ENTITY ADHERED TO A SPECIFIC PROGRAM. THE FURTHER INVESTGATIION OF THE STRATEGIES USED BY THE ARCHITECTS SHOWS THAT UNIVERSAL HEADQUARTERS BUILDING COMPRISES FIVE DIFFERENT PRECINCTS - WHOSE PROGRAMS ARE UNIQUE: 1. VIRTUAL TOWER OFFERS VARIANTS OF FLEXIBLE SPACE FOR SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS, 2. CIRCULATION TOWER AS THE MAIN VERTICAL CONNECTION FOR THE REST OF THE PRECINCTS, 3. COLLECTIVE TOWER OF SHARED MEETING SPACES AND CONFERENCE CENTERS, 4.

EXECUTIVE TOWER IS FULLY DEDICATED FOR EXECUTIVE SUITES, 5. CORPORATE BEAM, A TRANSLUCENT VOLUME, WHICH PROVIDES A COLLABORATIVE SPACE FOR THE OFFICE’S COHORT. 16

KAZUYO SEJIMA & ASSOCIATES WAS APPOINTED TO DESIGN ONE OUT OF FOUR HOUSING BLOCKS DEVELOPMENT IN KITAGATA, GIFU PREFECTURE. THE HEART OF THIS PROJECT LIES IN ITS PROGRAM ARRANGEMENT, RESULTING IN VARIOUS KINDS OF DISTINCT UNIT TYPOLOGIES. EACH UNIT HAS ITS OWN COURTYARD LIKE TERRACE PENETRATES TO THE BUILDING MASS THROUGH WHICH THE IMPRESSION OF MASSIVE BUILDING BLOCK IS BLURRED.

IT IS ASSUMED THAT DIFFERENT KINDS OF HOUSEHOLDS WOULD OCCUPY THE UNITS. THEREFORE, DIFFERENT TYPES OF UNITS WILL BE REQUIRED IN DEVELOPING THE APARTMENT. GIVEN THIS CHALLENGE, SEJIMA UTILISED THE IDEA OF MODULES AS THE DRIVER OF THIS PROJECT. THE MODULE OF A BASIC BLOCK, AIDS THE DESIGN PROCESS IN PROVIDING DIFFERENT SIZE OF UNITS. THE PROVIDED SECTION ANALYSIS DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATE HOW EACH BLOCK, WHICH REPRESENTS SINGLE PROGRAM, IS ABLE TO RE-CONFIGURE ITSELF INTO A VARIANT OF TYPOLOGIES TO SATISFY THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF DIFFERENT HOUSEHOLDS.

DRAWING FROM THE SITE AND ITS CONVENTIONAL PITCHED HOUSING, THE BASIC SHAPE IS REPLICATED AND ITS SIMPLICITY MANIPULATED. SIMPLY SHAPED HOUSES BECOME COMPLEX CONFIGURATIONS IN SPACE WHERE BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MERGES. THE INTERIOR IS DESIGNED AS A SPATIAL SEQUENCE WITH SURPRISING TRANSITIONS AND VIEWS OF THE LANDSCAPE. ITS HAPHAZARD DESIGN ADDS TO THE VARIETY OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE VITRA CAMPS.

TAKING THE GENERIC MODEL OF THE HOUSE, ARE THERE ANY POSSIBILITIES TO MERGE AND OVERLAP TWO UNITS? WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CROSSOVER SPACE? COULD THAT SPACE BE UTILIZED, SEALED, EXPOSED? EACH SPATIAL CONFIGURATION IS EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT SIZES, DIFFERENT ROTATIONAL ANGLE AND AT DIFFERENT CORNERS, THE POTENTIAL ARE PLENTIFUL; FROM CONTINUATION TO A HOUSE IN A HOUSE. THIS METHOD OF TESTING DERIVES THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE EMERGENCE OF HYBRIDS TO OCCUR.

FOLLIES ARE DEFINED AS ORNAMENTAL BUILDINGS THAT DO NOT REALLY POSSESS ANY PRACTICAL PURPOSE, YET, ITS EFFECT ON MONTPELLIER HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT. THE SITE SITS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE NEW NEIGHBOURHOODS AND DRAWS A LINK BETWEEN THEM. THE PURPOSE OF THE ARCHITECTURE COMPOSITION SEEKS TO UNIFY THE DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES AND URBAN CHARACTERISTICS. VERTICAL VILLAGE IS A COLLECTION OF COMMUNITIES THAT REPRESENTS THE SOCIAL, FORMAL AND RELATIONAL QUALITIES AND INTRINSIC VALUES OF EACH DISTRICT. THERE BECOMES A DIVERSE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES THAT CATERS TO A MIXTURE OF GENERATIONS AND SOCIAL GROUPS.

A FORM COMPOSED THROUGH THE ACCUMULATION OF MULTIPLE NEIGHBOURHOODS AND THEIR IDENTITIES, VERTICAL VILLAGE IS UNIQUE BECAUSE EACH FACE, AND COLOUR APPRECIATES A DIFFERENT IDENTITY OF THE USER. ITS INTRIGUING CHARACTER IS THAT IT CONNECTS VARIOUS TYPOLOGIES OF UNITS TOGETHER (FAMILY - STUDIO - TERRACE).

THE NEED FOR GENERATIONAL AND SOCIETAL DIVERSITY RELATES TO THE AVAILABILITY OF VARIOUS PROGRAMS FOR MULTIPLE AGE GROUPS.

THE PRIORITY IN ALL THREE PRECEDENTS IS THE NOTION OF PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS. HOWEVER, THROUGH TIME AND IMPROVEMENT, THE AIM HAS BEEN REPROACHED AND UPGRADED. THIS CRITIQUE IS FOCUSSED AROUND THE NOTION OF INTERACTION AND THE CAPABILITIES, AS ARCHITECTURE TO ALLOW FOR MOMENTS OF EXCHANGE BETWEEN RESIDENTS AND THE PUBLIC. SHARED SPACES AND COURTYARDS ARE A CLICHE, HOW CAN WE CAPITALISE ON SUCH OPPORTUNITIES? THE PLACEMENT OF SHARED, PUBLIC SPACE IS CRUCIAL IN EACH OF THE THREE HOUSING TYPOLOGIES, BUT IN MY OPINION, THERE IS ONLY ONE THAT OFFERS OPTIMAL OPPORTUNITIES IN ITS UTILIZATION.

THE COURTYARD OFFERS INTERACTION, THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT ITS CAPABILITIES. THERE ARE SEVERAL METHODS THAT MVRDV UNDERTAKES THAT QUESTIONS AND EXPERIMENTS TO ACHIEVE THE OPTIMAL YIELD. CONVENTIONALLY, WE HAVE AN INWARD LOOKING COURTYARD. IN SILODAM, WE IMAGINE THE DIVISION OF THE COURTYARD INTO PUBLIC SPACES. HOWEVER, THEY FUNCTION ONLY AS ISOLATED SPACES THAT RELIES ON THE FACADE TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY. THEN COMES MIRADOR SOCIAL HOUSING, THAT IS MERELY AN UPWARD FLIP OF THE COURTYARD: HERE VARIOUS ‘SUBURBS’ ARE SUPPOSED TO MEET HERE. JUST LIKE ITS PREDECESSOR, IT ISN’T SUCCESSFUL. CELOSIA, HOWEVER IS STACKED APART, ALLOWING FOR SMALLER BREAKOUTS APART FROM THE MAIN COURTYARD, ALLOWING FOR INTERACTIONS ON EVERY LEVEL.

THE DESIGN INTENTION IS TO INTRODUCE NARROW LANEWAYS, AS PART OF THE SITE’S CULTURE, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SITE. WHILE ONE MIGHT ARGUES THAT THE LANEWAYS CAN BE DAUNTING, THE DIAGRAM ABOVE, DISCUSSES MATRIX OF TRANSPARENCIS, WILL BENEFIT THE IMMEDEIATE ADJACENT BUILDING’S FACADE.

INSTEAD OF PARALELL-ING WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBOURHOOD CHARACTER, THIS DESIGN CONCEPT PROPOSES A LOOSE SPACE PLANNING, RESULTING IN OPENING UP THE GROUND LEVEL FOR PUBLIC ACCESS AND PROMOTING PERMEABILITY TOO. THE CHALLENGE IS HOW TO CONNECT THESE TOWERS YET THE CONNECTION SPACES SERVE AS A COLLABORATIVE SPACES FOR RESIDENTS AND POSSBILY FOR PUBLIC TOO. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME RETAILS TO EXIST IN THE CONNECTION SPACE, RETAILS THAT EMERGE FROM THE RESIDENTS ITSELF. THEY PART-TAKE AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

SPATIAL PLANNING STRATEGY AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

PRIOR TO FURTHER DESIGN THE DETAILS, A STRATEGY OF ESTABLISHING DIFFERENT TYPOLOGIES OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS IS IMPERATIVE. THIS RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX WILL CATER DIFFERENT SIZES OF HOUSEHOLDS, THUS VARIETY OF APARTMENT’S SIZES ARE PROPOSED. BORROWING PROGRAM PLANNING DIAGRAM BY KAZUYO SEJIMA IN GIFU APARTMENTS, THESE PROPOSED TYPOLOGIES WILL HAVE MYRIAD POSSIBLITIES OF CONFIGURATION. THIS WILL PROVIDE MORE CHARACTERISTICS AND UNIQUENESS TO EACH DWELLING. THERE IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE OVERLAPPED FORM TO BE UTILISED AS A COLLABORATIVE SPACE.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD CHARACTER AROUND THE SITE SHOWS EXCLUSIVENESS TO ITS RESPECTIVE PROGRAMS. THE PROPOSAL SEEKS TO BREAK THE BOUNDARY OF THIS PROGRAM EXCLUSIVENESS. THE IDEA IS TO OPEN UP A DIAGONAL THOROUGHFARE FROM ONE CORNER (ARGYLE & YOUNG) TO THE OTHER CORNER (NAPIER & KERR), THE DESIGN IS TO COLLABORATIVELY ENGAGE PUBLIC IN THE MIDST OF THE PRIVATE AREA. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH A CAREFULLY DESIGNED APARTMENTS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OPEN COURTYARD, RETAILS, AND COLLABORATIVE SPACES THROUGHOUT THE THOROUGHFARE.
